Goodrow and Motte Injury Updates
After the win last night, Rangers head coach Gerard Gallant disclosed that Barclay Goodrow is going to be out for an extended period. Officially listed as week to week, Goodrow’s potential absence was not disclosed until pre-game warm ups when he and Ryan Lindgren did not come out.
Goodrow’s injury is a lower body one, and some have speculated it may have been a result of a blocked shot in the first period of Game 1. Goodrow is one of only two Rangers to have won the Stanley Cup, and now joins their other Cup winner: Sammy Blais, on the sidelines. When asked today whether we’ll see Goodrow back later in round one, Gallant replied “Probably not”.
