The Barracuda need just one point in their final two games to make the AHL playoffs in their inaugural season. Both of those games come against the Stockton Heat, a team a couple notches lower than the ‘Cuda in the standings. While, naturally, most of our focus will be on tonight’s Sharks game, make sure to spare a moment to think about the baby Sharks.
San Jose has just one win in its last five contests, a trend the Barracuda will look to reverse against Stockton. Thankfully, the Heat aren’t quite the team the Texas Stars were. From SJBarracuda.com, here are the ‘Cuda’s leading scorers:
| # | PLAYER | GP | G | A | PTS | SOG | SH% |
| 40 | Ryan Carpenter | 64 | 18 | 36 | 54 | 139 | 13 |
| 11 | Bryan Lerg | 62 | 21 | 29 | 50 | 163 | 12.9 |
| 17 | John McCarthy | 65 | 16 | 27 | 43 | 127 | 12.6 |
| 82 | Nikolay Goldobin | 58 | 19 | 20 | 39 | 115 | 16.5 |
