The San Jose Barracuda are locked in a battle with the Charlotte Checkers for the final playoff spot.
With two games to go in the AHL season, the San Jose Barracuda narrowly trail the Charlotte Checkers for the final spot in the Calder Cup Playoffs. This season, thanks in large part to the introduction of West Coast AHL Hockey, playoff seeding is determined by points percentage rather than by pure point totals.
So with a pair of games against the Stockton Heat coming up on Saturday/Sunday, the Barracuda need at least one point if they're to have any hope of making the dance.
