San Jose Barracuda forward Danil Gushchin has been selected as the Howies Hockey Tape/AHL Player of the Week for the period ending April 14, 2024.

After four years of rehabbing injury after injury, Akim Aliu’s return to the ice is about proving something to himself, but it’s also for something larger. Aliu has had a career defined by the roadblocks laid out for him.

Jack Thompson didn’t expect to be traded to San Jose, but the move has reunited him with a childhood friend in Barracuda rookie Ethan Cardwell.

The San Jose Barracuda have signed defenseman Akim Aliu to a professional tryout contract.

The Syracuse Crunch have acquired forward Jordy Bellerive from the San Jose Barracuda in exchange for forward Joe Carroll.

The San Jose Sharks have acquired goaltender Devin Cooley from the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for a seventh-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft.

The Detroit Red Wings have acquired defenseman Radim Simek and a seventh-round pick in the 2024 NHL Draft from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for forward Klim Kostin.

The San Jose Sharks have acquired AHL All-Star defenseman Jack Thompson and a third-round selection in the 2024 NHL Draft from the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for forward Anthony Duclair and a seventh-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft.

Radim Simek has been a consummate leader since returning to the San Jose Barracuda this season, and was the perfect choice to be named the team’s captain.

For most players, it’s a challenge to make the AHL All-Star team. But for several, including Shakir Mukhamadullin of the host San Jose Barracuda, the bigger challenge was literally getting there.
