The San Jose Barracuda has secured goalie Matt Davis, a two-time national champion from Denver University, on an AHL contract through 2025-26. At just 23, Davis had an impressive collegiate record this past season with a 29-10-1 record, showcasing a 2.07 GAA and .924 SV%. His remarkable performance during the NCAA championship, where he was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player, highlights his potential. If Davis translates his success to professional play, he could form a strong goalie partnership with Yaroslav Askarov for the Sharks.
Davis was also named the Most Outstanding Player at the 2024 NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Tournament.
If he can carry that level of play into the pro game, the Sharks could eventually have a strong goalie tandem in Yaroslav Askarov and Davis.
Over four seasons in the NCAA, Davis finished with a 63-17-4 record, a 2.13 GAA, and a .921 SV%.
Davis, 23, played for Denver University this past NCAA season, posting a 29-10-1 record with a 2.07 GAA and a .924 SV% in 40 games.
