San Jose would take the lead with two goals 22 seconds apart from Bryan Lerg and Barclay Woodrow and Ryan Carpenter’s rebound goal made it 3-1 in favor of San Jose going into the second period.
The Barracuda made it a three goal game with Haley’s second tally of the game just over a minute into the middle frame, beating Roman Will. San Antonio answered back minutes later with Sam Henley’s goal to make it 4-2. San Jose would answer back before the period ended as Nikolay Goldobin buried a rebound of his own to make it a three goal game again going into the final frame.
San Antonio began the third period with a goaltender change as Spencer Martin replaced Roman Will in net. The Rampage responded with a tally from Nikita Zadorov just over a minute into the period to cut the deficit to two goals.
