The Colorado Eagles capped off their first AHL preseason on Saturday night with a 4-2 win over the San Jose Barracudas. Four different players found the back of the net while goalie Pavel Francouz made 22 saves on 24 shots. Francouz is making his first appearance in the AHL after playing his previous three seasons for Chelyabinsk Traktor of the Kontinental hockey league.
It was a much better look from a team that struggled with neutral zone turnovers and failed to generate any significant offense the game prior. Of course, much of that change can be credited to player personnel moves.
