Former Penn State forward Connor MacEachern signed a new contract with the San Jose Barracuda on Wednesday afternoon, the AHL affiliate of the San Jose Sharks.

The deal runs through the 2023-2024 AHL season and per club rules, the details of the contract were not announced.

During his time with the Nittany Lions, MacEachern collected 31 goals and 77 points in 130 games and served as an alternate captain in his senior campaign.
