SAN JOSE – Roy Sommer’s Barracuda have been the talk of the American Hockey League in recent weeks.
The Sharks’ primary affiliate had a 14-game winning streak snapped in overtime on Wednesday, and still hasn’t lost a game in regulation since Jan. 21. Headed into the weekend, the Barracuda sit atop the AHL standings with a 33-11-1-4 mark.
The recent loss, and losing key scorer Nikolay Goldobin in a trade to Vancouver hasn’t dampened spirits, Sommer said on the latest Sharks Insider Podcast.
