The San Jose Barracuda will look to gain their first series lead with a win in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals over the Grand Rapids Griffins tonight. San Jose has not yet lost a Game 3 this postseason, and has done so away from the friendly confines of the SAP Center in each of the previous two rounds.
As the Western Conference’s top overall seed, the Barracuda have held home ice advantage in each round during the Calder Cup Playoffs. Yet it has not provided much of an edge, as the Barracuda are just 4-3 at home this postseason.
