SAN JOSE – Since making his NHL debut during the 2014-15 campaign, Barclay Goodrow has been one of the younger guys looking up to veterans like Joe Thornton. But for the last two games, he’s been on No. 19’s wing.
“We’ve kind of joked about playing together for a while now,” Goodrow said with a chuckle after skating with the veteran for the second straight game, a 4-3 win over the Minnesota Wild. “So it’s nice to get out there with each other, and especially score some goals.”
But it goes beyond both skaters finding the back on the net over the last two games.
