Goaltender Sebastian Cossa skated in his third full season with the Griffins and participated in the AHL All-Star Classic for the second consecutive campaign. The 23-year-old went 26-8-4 in the regular season with five shutouts, a 2.33 goals-against average and a .915 save percentage in 39 appearances. Cossa showed career-high numbers in GAA, save percentage, wins and shutouts. He ranked among the AHL leaders in GAA (5th), save percentage (6th), wins (3rd), games played (T12th), minutes played (2,292:25, 12th) and shutouts (2nd).
