The Pacific Division semifinals resume tonight as San Jose hosts San Diego in Game 3 of their first-round battle… The series is even at one game apiece after the Barracuda followed a Game 1 overtime loss with a 5-3 victory in Game 2 on Thursday… California native Evan Weinger picked up two goals and an assist for San Jose in Game 2, and leads all scorers in the series with 2-2-4 through two games… Ivan Chekhovich (2-1-3), Dylan Gambrell (1-2-3) and John McCarthy (1-1-2) have also found the scoresheet in both games for the Barracuda… Sam Carrick (1-2-3), Sam Steel (1-2-3) and Jacob Larsson (1-2-3) share the San Diego team lead with three points each in the series… The Gulls bring an impressive road record into the SAP Center; San Diego was 5-0-2-0 in their last seven games away from home and 16-4-4-0 on the road after Christmas… The Barracuda won five of their last seven home games to close out the regular season, but lost three of the Gulls’ five visits to San Jose… Fifteen of the Gulls’ 18 skaters and 16 of the Barracuda’s 19 skaters have recorded at least one point already in the series… San Jose is 1-for-9 on the power play through two games; San Diego is 0-for-4 but has scored a shorthanded goal.
