SAN JOSE – Despite getting recalled on Wednesday morning for his recent scoring surge with the Barracuda, young winger Nikolay Goldobin was scratched from the lineup for the game with the Panthers that night.
Coach Pete DeBoer has kept Goldobin around for at least another day, though, and said on Thursday that he’d “like to get him in a game.”
It wasn’t a guarantee, though.
“I think he deserves one, but we’re in the sprint to the finish here, so we’re going to do what’s best to help us win a game,” DeBoer said. “But, he deserves to be here, and if we can I’d like to play him.
