After a depleted Barracuda lineup was easily handled by the San Diego Gulls in a 5-1 loss the Barracuda looked to get back on track in a weekend series in Tucson.
Barracuda 5 - Roadrunners 2
The first game of the series held Saturday night was what could only be described as a textbook Barracuda game. The Barracuda, for the most part, controlled the pace and if not for the heroics of Roadrunner goaltender Adin Hill the score could have been far worse in favor of the Barracuda.
Ryan Carpenter opened the scoring at the nine-minute mark of the first period with his 10th of the year from Julius Bergman.
