San Jose Barracuda goaltender Troy Grosenick bounced back in a big way in the Pacific Division Finals against the San Diego Gulls. In five games, the 27-year-old allowed just 10 goals on his way to a .933 save percentage.
The Baz Bastien Award winner saved his best in the series for last in Game 5 last night, stopping all 34 shots he faced as the Barracuda advanced to the Western Conference Finals, a first for a Sharks AHL affiliate.
It was the kind of performance San Jose had come to expect from the goaltender this season, but not one they saw in the first round against Stockton.
