The San Jose Barracuda added another trophy to its 2016-17 roster. Troy Groesnick has been announced as the winner of the Baz Bastien Award, given to the AHL's best goaltender, as chosen by the players and media. He is the first goalie from a Sharks affiliate to win the award.
From the announcement:
Named a 2016-17 First Team AHL All-Star last week, Grosenick has a record of 30-9-3 in 46 appearances for San Jose this season, ranking second in the league in wins (30), goals-against average (1.98) and save percentage (.930). He is also just the fifth goaltender in AHL history to reach double digits in shutouts in a single season (10) and he put together a scoreless stretch of more than 248 minutes from Nov.
