Sharks Recall Prospect, Place Goodrow on IR

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.

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. We’ll see if Cardwell draws in. He skated with Nico Sturm and Klim Kostin on the third line, but both Alex Wennberg and Luke Kunin, both everyday Sharks forwards, missed practice for not-yet-known reasons.
