Ep 68: Auston Matthews Extension, Tampa Bay Lightning, and Much More
by Full Press Coverage on September 1, 2023 at 2:23 am
Jim and Chris are back to chat about the Auston Matthews extension, the […]
A five-game losing streak immediately followed the hot start. For the rest of the season, the San Jose Barracuda could only string together three wins or more in a row one time. Even with 11 more victories than last season, San Jose only managed to finish eighth in the Pacific Division (as opposed to last year’s ninth place outcome) with a 31-34-7 record and 69 points. For the second season in a row, the San Jose Barracuda missed out on the expanded Calder Cup Playoffs.
Long-tenured veteran forward Andrew Agozzino led the San Jose Barracuda in goals (26), assists (35), and total points. Agozzino’s 61 points was the third time posting a 60-point season in his AHL career; he accrued 60 points with the Colorado Eagles in 2018-19 and 64 points with the Lake Erie Monsters in 2014-15.
