Much like a good race at the Kentucky Derby, the Thoroughblades’ race to the finish line at the SAP Center on Saturday night was not without some controversy.
Cavan Fitzgerald’s snapshot over the right shoulder of goaltender Tyler Parsons at 7:57 of the third period will be remembered as the game winner in a 4-2 victory for the San Jose Barracuda, playing on Saturday as the Kentucky Thoroughblades, over the Stockton Heat. But it was the team’s opening goal, provided by ‘Cuda defenseman Kyle Wood, that’ll draw the attention of the American Hockey League.
