WICHITA, Kan. (Dec. 19) – The Wichita Thunder, ECHL affiliate of the NHL's San Jose Sharks, AHL's San Jose Barracuda and powered by Toyota, announced today two separate transactions pertaining to players heading back to AHL San Jose.
Donavan Houle have been recalled by San Jose. Noah Beck has been reassigned by the Sharks to the Barracuda.
Through the first 24 games of the campaign, Beck paces Wichita skaters with 25 points (6g, 21a). He joins the Barracuda on a five-game assist streak, which is the longest active such streak in the league.
The Arizona State product also leads ECHL defensemen in goals and all rookies in assists and points. Beck made his pro debut with AHL San Jose this past March.
Houle will return to San Jose for the first time since his rookie campaign a year ago, where he recorded 24 points (10g, 14a) in 64 games. The Montreal, Quebec native has hit his stride in December, picking up points in five of his last six games (4g, 4a, 8p), including the game-winning shorthanded tally on Wednesday in Tahoe.
The Thunder remains in Nevada on Friday night to face the Knight Monsters for the second of three meetings this week. Faceoff is set for 9 p.m. CST.
