With the regular season quickly dwindling down, the San Jose Barracuda are running out of time if they want to secure a playoff spot in their inaugural campaign.
San Jose finds themselves trailing the Charlotte Checkers by 0.17 percentage points in the race for the final spot in the Western Conference with only five games remaining in their season.
The Barracuda began last week with a very strong outing against the Pacific Division leading Ontario Reign, top affiliate of the Los Angeles Kings. San Jose jumped out to a 3-0 lead en route to a big 3-1 victory over Ontario.
