The San Jose Barracuda have wreaked havoc on the Pacific Division of the American Hockey League this season. With a record of 19-7-1-3, they have confidently sat in first place for almost the entire season. The Tucson Roadrunners are their closest competition, with a 17-9-3-1 record. Today, the 'Cuda face the team furthest behind them, the last place Ontario Reign.
It’s no secret the Los Angeles Kings have faced several hurdles this season, one of the biggest being their Injured Reserve. They lost both their starting and backup goaltenders earlier in the season, stripping the Reign of their starter and backup, as both were called up to the NHL.
