The San Jose Barracuda Are A Wagon (For Real)

The San Jose Barracuda have gotten out to a hot start thanks to a massive improvement in goaltending from Yaroslav Askarov. Examine Askarov's impact and why he changes the math for the Barracuda. Then, the offense has been humming this season with 20 goals in four games; look at why it is sustainable because of the contributions from several key players, including Filip Bystedt, and why there could be room for improvement if the Barracuda get Danil Gushchin and or Thomas Bordeleau back. Then, look at how Jimmy Schuldt has put all the defensemen into their proper tiers and how Jake Furlong and Luca Cagnoni have made immediate impacts for the Barracuda on the blue line.
