Sharks recall forward from Barracuda after placing Goodrow on IR

SAN JOSE — The San Jose Sharks placed forward Barclay Goodrow on injured reserve Thursday and recalled Ethan Cardwell from the San Jose Barracuda.

Goodrow left Wednesday’s game against the Ottawa Senators with an upper-body injury midway through the first period. It was not immediately clear exactly how Goodrow was injured, but on his first shift, he was hit from behind and knocked down by Senators forward Ridly Greig, causing him to go off the ice after just a 26-second shift.

Goodrow took three more shifts in the first period before he left the game. The Sharks announced at the start of the second period that Goodrow would not return. This season, Goodrow has two goals and 23 penalty minutes and was averaging 15:17 in ice time in 24 games before Wednesday.

Goodrow will have to miss at least the Sharks’ next three games. San Jose has a home-and-home series with the Seattle Kraken on Friday and Saturday, then plays the Washington Capitals on Tuesday in the first of five straight games away from the West Coast.

Goodrow would be eligible to return for the Sharks’ game against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Dec. 5. Goodrow won the Stanley Cup with the Lightning in both 2020 and 2021.

This is the second time Cardwell has been recalled from the Barracuda, as he played three games with the Sharks from Oct. 29 to Nov. 2 when Ty Dellandrea was on IR. Cardwell did not have a point in three games but averaged 12:44 in ice time as he became one of the team’s penalty-killers.

This season for the Barracuda, Cardwell has seven points in 13 games.
