Stockton, CA – The San Jose Barracuda (11-13-1-0) got 30 saves from Sam Harvey and a pair of goals from Joachim Blichfeld to upend the top team in the Western Conference, the Stockton Heat, 4-0 on Friday afternoon at the Stockton Arena. The victory was the Barracuda’s first in three tries against the Heat.

• Evan Weinger (5) potted a shorthanded goal in his 150th career AHL game, his second shorty of the year, and the team’s AHL-best sixth of the season.
• Nick Merkley (6) collected a goal (GWG) and an assist.
• For the Heat, Friday marked the second time this year and first since opening night (Oct. 15: 1-0 L vs. TUC) in which the team was shut out and its first home regulation loss.
