SAN JOSE — The Sharks aren’t the only first-place team that calls SAP Center its home.
The San Jose Barracuda, the Sharks’ top affiliate, is tearing up the American Hockey League. The Barracuda is riding a franchise-record 12-game winning streak and holding the 30-team league’s best record (31-11-4), despite carrying its second-youngest roster.
The San Jose teams are seeking to become the fourth NHL-AHL tandem to win championships in the same season, and the first to do so since the New Jersey Devils and the Albany River Rats won the Stanley Cup and the Calder Cup during the 1994-95 season.
