The problem with Barclay Goodrow is that there is only one of him to go around.
When a vacancy at wing opens on the second line, as it has over the past week with Artemi Panarin on the COVID-19 list, Goodrow can temporarily fill that role just fine. But moving him up creates a hole in the middle of the bottom six that is not so easily papered over.
As they skated in practice Friday, the units of Chris Kreider, Mika Zibanejad and Kaapo Kakko; Alexis Lafreniere, Ryan Strome and Goodrow; and Rooney, McKegg and Reaves remained intact, while Chytil skated between rotating wingers Morgan Barron, Tim Gettinger and Jonny Brodzinski on the third line. Then, too, the coach has been giving more time to the fourth line than to the third unit over the past week.
“It hasn’t worked out as perfect, we’ve tried him on the wing a little bit here and there, but in a perfect world if Fil is doing what he’s capable of doing and he’s playing real good hockey on the third line, that’s what I’d love. And I know he’d like to be that guy — maybe he wants to be a second-line center but that’s not in the cards right now.
