Nearly one year ago to date, the then Worcester Sharks were tied 1-1 with the Hershey Bears in Game One of their first round AHL Calder Cup Playoff series when at 17:17 of the third period, forward Jeremy Langlois was assessed a game misconduct and a five minute major for checking Bears defenseman Steve Oleksy from behind that resulted in three Bears power play goals in a 4-1 loss.
Friday night at SAP Center, the script was nearly identical as a miscue between San Jose Barracuda defensemen Karl Stollery and Julius Bergman inside their own zone late in the third period led to what held up as the winning goal in the Barracuda's 2-1 loss to the Ontario Reign (AHL affiliate of the Los Angeles Kings) in Game One of their first round Calder Cup Playoff series.
