12. Memorable Moment: Tyson Barrie Cracks 50-Point Mark

Throughout his tenure as an Avs player, I liked to call Tyson Barrie a rover. He’s not much of a wizard at defense. He’s an offensive defenseman, and he made that the calling card of his game.

The 2014-15 season was the first full one with the NHL club. He had over 100 NHL games to his name, but that year was his first full season. He played in 80 games.

And he made his presence known. He recorded his first 50-point season, earning 53 points (12 goals, 41 assists). He was the quarterback of the power play, and 21 of those points came with the man-advantage.
