Filip Chytil didn’t even know that Barclay Goodrow was going to play Saturday night until he saw the utility forward getting ready in the locker room.
Goodrow, who had missed 11 games with a suspected ankle fracture, returned to the lineup to help the Rangers stave off elimination for a fourth time this postseason with aof their second-round playoff series at Madison Square Garden.
Rangers head coach Gerard Gallant revealed that Goodrow had resumed skating individually before the club traveled to Carolina for Game 5 at PNC Arena on Thursday, but the 29-year-old hadn’t skated with the team yet. “When I talked to you guys, you probably thought I was lying,” Gallant said. “I didn’t know nothing at that time. Obviously, I got a call later in the day and I was told he was cleared. I wasn’t lying, trust me.”
The Rangers had missed Goodrow on the penalty kill, which he jumped right into in his first game back, as well as on their forecheck.
