SAN JOSE — Roy Sommer went into desperation mode Saturday, pulling out his good luck bolo tie as the Barracuda faced a must-win situation.
The lucky charm appeared to give the Barracuda’s sputtering power play the good vibes it needed to regain the dominance it displayed throughout the regular season.
After going 1-for-22 in the first round of the Calder Cup playoffs, the power play finally broke through with two goals in Game 2 at the SAP Center Saturday, propelling the Barracuda to a 5-1 win over the San Diego Gulls and a 1-1 series tie in the Pacific Division Finals.
