Career

Agostino in the jersey of the Calgary Flames (2014)

Agostino was selected straight out of high school in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft in the fifth round in 140th place by the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockey League . In addition to the high school team of the Delbarton School in his hometown, the striker was briefly active until 2010 for the US National Team Development Program of the US ice hockey association USA Hockey . After being elected in the Entry Draft, Agostino decided to continue his career at Yale University . Parallel to his studies in political science , he played the following four years for the university team, with whom he won the national college championship of the National Collegiate Athletic Association at the end of the 2012/13 season . In addition, Agostino received numerous individual appointments to the All-Star teams of the ECAC Hockey and Ivy League that year and the following year . During this time, his transfer rights in the North American professional sector had been given up in March 2013 from Pittsburgh to the Calgary Flames , after he moved there together with the first-round suffrage in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft and the transfer rights to Ben Hanowski in exchange for Calgary team captain Jarome Iginla .

After completing his studies, the striker was signed by Calgary in March 2014 and made eight appearances for the Flames by the end of the NHL season. For the following season , the American finally found himself in the farm team , the Adirondack Flames , in the American Hockey League . With 43 points in 67 games, he was able to convince in his rookie season . In the new Stockton Heat farm team, he built on these achievements in the 2015/16 season with 57 points in 65 games, so that he was used again for two games at the Calgary Flames during the season. As a free agent , Agostino joined the St. Louis Blues in the summer of 2016 . There he was the fixed point of the Chicago Wolves farm team at the beginning of the season . It was only after Blues striker Robby Fabbri was out for the rest of the season due to an injury to his cruciate ligament in early February 2017 that Agostino was appointed to the St. Louis' NHL squad for the first time. At that time he led the scorer list of the AHL with 60 points in 48 games with a lead of 15 points over Jordan Weal . He defended this lead for the rest of the season and was therefore appointed to the AHL First All-Star Team at the end of the season , received the Les Cunningham Award as most valuable player and the John B. Sollenberger Trophy as top scorer.

Nevertheless, his expiring contract in St. Louis was not extended, so that he joined the Boston Bruins as a free agent in July 2017 . In July 2018, Agostino signed a one-year contract with the Canadiens de Montréal in the same way . When he was supposed to be sent back to the AHL via the waiver in February 2019 , the New Jersey Devils took over his contract. There he ended the season and then moved to the Toronto Maple Leafs as a free agent in July 2019 .
