WILKES-BARRE, Pa. - The American Hockey League announced today that Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins forward Andrew Agozzino has been named to the Atlantic Division All-Star Team for the 2020 AHL All-Star Classic presented by Ontario International Airport.

Agozzino will represent Wilkes-Barre/Scranton during the two-day All-Star festivities on Sunday, Jan. 26 and Monday, Jan. 27 in Ontario California.

Agozzino, who turns 29-years-old today, leads the Penguins with 17 assists and 29 points. His production puts him on pace to eclipse his career high in points, 64, which was set 2014-15 with the Lake Erie Monsters. This marks the Kleinburg, Ontario native's third All-Star nod, who previously participated in the event in 2013 and 2019.

Agozzino played in his 500th AHL game on Tuesday, scoring a goal for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in that New Year's Eve contest. In his 500 career AHL games, Agozzino has amassed 158 goals and 223 assists for 381 points. He has led his team in points at the end of five of his previous seven AHL seasons.

He is one of 48 players selected to AHL All-Star rosters.

Agozzino was signed by the Pittsburgh Penguins as a free agent on July 1, 2019. Prior to signing with Pittsburgh, Agozzino played in 21 NHL games, all of which logged as a member of the Colorado Avalanche.
