Firebirds Host Barracuda Tonight Seeking Sixth Straight Win

The Coachella Valley Firebirds return to the ice tonight at Acrisure Arena for a key American Hockey League matchup against the San Jose Barracuda, with a chance to make it six straight wins.

While it’s only mid-January, tonight’s game looms large in the standings. The Firebirds and Barracuda are separated by just a few points, and San Jose enters as one of the first teams in weeks to arrive in the Coachella Valley sitting ahead of the Firebirds in the standings.

The Firebirds, however, have had the upper hand in the season series so far, posting a 2–0 record against the Barracuda with one win at Acrisure Arena and another on the road in San Jose.

Following tonight’s game, NBC Palm Springs Sports will have a full recap and postgame reaction, including comments from Firebirds head coach Derek Laxdal.

Puck drop is set for tonight at Acrisure Arena, with coverage continuing on NBC Palm Springs.
