After a tough fought game, the San Diego Gulls fell to the San Jose Barracuda at Tech CU Arena tonight, 5-4.  

San Jose opened the scoring in the first, but San Diego responded with four consecutive goals in the middle frame. Ethan Procysyzn started it off, finding the corner of the net to tally his first career AHL goal. The 20-year-old rookie has appeared in all 16 games for San Diego this season and ends a 13-game point drought with the goal. 

Less than three minutes later, Stian Solberg poked one home to give the Gulls their first lead of the night. The goal becomes the defenseman’s third of the season and brings him to 10 total points which leads all Gulls blue liners. Anton Wahlberg kept it going, collecting his second point of the night for the third goal. Wahlberg leads all Gulls skaters in points at 4-11=15 and has now tallied four multi-point games this season.  

The fourth of the period was netted by Nico Myatovic, who found his way past San Jose’s skaters to find San Diego’s first shorthanded goal of the season. The goal becomes his third scored on the penalty kill in his career and his sixth total this season. Myatovic made his presence known tonight as he started the action earlier in the first period, dropping the gloves to take on San Jose’s Thomas Messineo following a big hit on Matthew Phillips. The five-minute fighting major marks the first of his AHL career and brings him to 15 PIM this season.  

Despite their momentum in the middle frame, the Barracuda were able to come back and take the lead in the third period. The Gulls could not capitalize on their late-period power play to equalize the score. Tomas Suchanek made his third start of the season, turning away 23 shots. 

Sean Farrell extended his point streak as he picked up the primary assist on Procysyzn’s goal, bringing him to 1-1=2 points in two games. Nathan Gaucher tallied his second multi-point night of the year, picking up assists on both Solberg and Wahlberg’s goals. Nick Jensen’s assist extends a point streak of 0-2=2 in two games following his first point of the year logged last night. Yegor Sidorov also picked up an assist to bring him to 1-3=4 points.  

The Gulls will now head home for a second contest against the Bakersfield Condors on Wednesday, Nov. 18 at Pechanga Arena San Diego (7 p.m. PST).
