The Colorado Eagles began a two-game road trip on Saturday night against their division rival, the San Jose Barracuda (SJS). This will be the first of eight times that they will see each other this season, four at home, and four in San Jose.
San Jose is the second highest scoring team in the AHL averaging 4.22 goals per game to the Eagles 3.2 goals per game. So it will probably be a high-scoring affair. They will probably face Yaroslav Askarov in net, who shut them out twice in Milwaukee (NSH) last season.
First Period
The Eagles tried to start the period with a lot of pressure in the Barracuda zone but struggled at first.
