San Jose went 3- 6-3-0 vs. the Reign this season as the Barracuda were outscored 21-28 by the Reign. The Barracuda went 3-2-1-0 vs. Ontario at SAP Center this season. In case you missed it… Highlights on the ice last week included Nikolay Goldobin and Barclay Goodrow each recording their 20th goals of the season for the Barracuda vs. the Heat. Nikolay led all players with five points (2-3-5) in the two games while Jeremy Morin (1-2-3), Jeremy Langlois (1-2-3), Trevor Parkes (3-0-3), and Joakim Ryan (0-3-3) all added three points.
