Cleveland Barons News Release
CLEVELAND - San Jose Sharks Executive Vice President and General Manager Doug Wilson announced that the club has recalled right wing Steve Bernier from the Cleveland Barons.
Bernier has 42 points (19-23-42) and 33 penalty minutes in 44 games this season.

Bernier enters the All-Star Break with a four game point streak (1-4-5) intact.
The six-foot-two, 230-pound right wing set a new Cleveland Barons franchise record for consecutive point streak to begin a season and rookie point streak to begin a career by opening his season with a seven-game point streak. His six game-winning goals also set a new single season franchise record.
