SAN JOSE, Calif. (Oct. 4, 2026) \u2013 The San Jose Barracuda (1-1-0-0) erased a pair of two-goal deficits and completed the comeback in overtime, defeating the San Diego Gulls (1-0-1-0), 5-4, on Sunday afternoon at Tech CU Arena. Former Gull Roland McKeown<\/a> scored the game-winner at 3:01 of overtime, while Filip Bystedt<\/a> finished with two goals and an assist, and Ethan Cardwell<\/a> and Tye Felhaber<\/a> each collected three assists.<\/p>\n

San Diego jumped out to a 2-0 lead with a pair of goals just 42 seconds apart midway through the opening period. Stian Solberg<\/a> opened the scoring at 8:43 before Nathan Gaucher<\/a> doubled the advantage at 9:25. Barracuda captain Jimmy Huntington<\/a> answered just over a minute later, burying a backhander after Cardwell won the puck free and slid it over to him at 10:26.<\/p>\n

San Jose pulled even with 27 seconds remaining in the first. Leo Sahlin Wallenius<\/a> and Felhaber combined to set up Bystedt, who beat Damian Clara<\/a> for his first goal of the year following a broken stick by Gulls defenseman Matt Basgall<\/a>, sending the teams into the intermission tied at two.<\/p>\n

The Gulls regained control in the second period. Roger McQueen<\/a> made it 3-2 at 3:14 before Anton Wahlberg<\/a> extended the lead to 4-2 at 9:52. San Jose again responded, as Andre Gasseau<\/a> scored his first AHL goal, batting in his own mishandled shot at 17:14.<\/p>\n

The Barracuda needed just 90 seconds of the third period to tie the game. With Yegor Sidorov<\/a> in the penalty box, Bystedt converted on the power play for his second goal of the afternoon. Felhaber faked a slap shot before sliding the puck to the back post, where Bystedt redirected it in. The goal capped San Jose’s second comeback from a two-goal deficit and made it 4-4.<\/p>\n

After the remainder of regulation went scoreless, McKeown ended it at 3:01 of overtime, carrying the puck from his own zone down the left wing before cutting across the crease and beating Clara on a backhand-to-forehand move. Felhaber and Bystedt picked up the assists as McKeown scored his first goal of the season to give San Jose its first win of 2026-27.<\/p>\n

Matt Davis<\/a> earned the victory in his first start of the season, stopping 28 of 32 shots, while Clara made 28 saves on 33 shots for San Diego. The Barracuda finished 1-for-3 on the power play and killed off both Gulls opportunities. San Jose held a 33-32 edge in shots.<\/p>\n
