But the Barracuda regained the lead minutes later through Danil Gushin to close out the opening frame.
The second period proved costly for Calgary, as San Jose poured on the pressure.
Filip Bystedt, Patrick Giles, Braden Haché, and Scott Sabourin each lit the lamp, pushing the visitors ahead 6-1.
Wilkie clawed one back late in the frame, tucking a loose puck past San Jose netminder Gabriel Carriere.
