Ethan Cardwell is back.
On Wednesday night, Barclay Goodrow left the San Jose Sharks’ 4-3 loss to the Ottawa Senators in the first period with an upper-body injury. The alternate captain did not return.
The Sharks also placed Goodrow on IR, so it appears that the penalty-killing center-winger will miss at least the next three games, a home-and-home against the Seattle Kraken and on the road at the Washington Capitals.
Head coach Ryan Warsofsky says Goodrow, pending further evaluation, might join the Sharks on the road. San Jose is on a six-game road trip, going from Seattle to St. Louis, from Nov. 30 to Dec. 12.
Cardwell, a 2021 San Jose Sharks’ fourth-round pick, made his NHL debut on Oct. 29 this season.
The 22-year-old winger appeared in three games, going pointless, but provided noticeable energy.
In 13 games with the San Jose Barracuda this year, Cardwell has one goal and six assists.
The San Jose Sharks take on the Kraken on SAP Center on Friday, a 12:30 PM afternoon tilt.
According to Warsofsky, Cardwell will draw in.
