Barclay Goodrow is set to return back to Madison Square Garden on Thursday night for the first time since everything went down between him and the New York Rangers. The New York Rangers bought out Goodrow’s contract at the beginning of the offseason as he was almost immediately claimed by the San Jose Sharks.

NEW YORK — It’s been a bit less than five months since the New York Rangers dumped Barclay Goodrow to the San Jose Sharks via waivers. San Jose is in town for its only visit to Madison Square Garden and it’s not a stretch to say Goodrow would love to show his old team something on Thursday.

You may need a reminder on this as Barclay Goodrow made his return to the Garden on Thursday as a member of the Sharks, but the Rangers’ bottom-six was a mess at this point last season when No. 21 was in the middle of it all.
