Martin puts in 32-save performance, Canucks take decisive 4-1 win over Barracuda

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Spencer Martin stopped 32 shots, backstopping the Abbotsford Canucks to a 4-1 win over the San Jose Barracuda in American Hockey League play on Thursday. 

Madison Bowey had an empty-net goal and an assist, while Sheldon Dries, Sheldon Rempal and Yushiroh Hirano all scored for the Canucks (30-19-5). 

The result stretched Abbotsford's win streak to five straight.

The lone Barracuda (20-31-4) goal came from Jayden Halbgewachs midway through the second period. 

Alex Stalock stopped 14-of-17 shots for San Jose, who dropped to 9-15-2 at home this season. 

Special teams were key for both sides, with Abbotsford going 1 for 5 with the man advantage. The Canucks' penalty kill was pressed into action often, too, keeping the Barracuda scoreless on five power plays.
