San Jose Barracuda surge toward the Pacific Division’s top seed after sweeping the Abbotsford Canucks—can they seize the playoff first-round bye? JD Young spotlights standout performances from Quentin Musty, Luca Cagnoni, and Oliver Wahlstrom as the Barracuda dominate both games with potent power plays and flawless penalty kills. Roster depth shines despite defensive injuries, with goaltending stepping up in Laurent Brossoit’s absence.
Key discussions cover Musty’s NHL-caliber scoring, Wahlstrom’s leadership, Cagnoni’s readiness for the big league, and how this winning streak positions San Jose Barracuda for home-ice advantage and a crucial bye in the AHL’s unique playoff format. With only five points separating them from first place and two games in hand, the race intensifies. Can the Barracuda keep their momentum and clinch playoff supremacy?

based on the schedules for the rest of the AHL season, how realistic do you think it is that the barracuda get to the first seed? we have 2 games in hand, but we’re also 5 points behind the reign. sorry if it’s a silly question, i’m not as familiar with the AHL yet 🙂
Do you think the sharks should call up Luca Cagnoni even if it risks playoff chances for the barracuda?
If the Sharks loose to Nashville, they should just call up everyone.
