Barclay Goodrow is believed to have suffered a broken left ankle, while injured forward Tyler Motte resumed skating this week.

But with top-four defenseman Ryan Lindgren unable to play in Game 2 due to a lower-body injury, the value of trading for Braun became more apparent. But he's played fine," Gallant said of Braun. "He goes in there and he's an experienced guy. Domingue has performed admirably through two appearances so far in the series, stopping 52 of the 57 shots he's faced for a .912 save percentage. "He's playing his offside (left) and it's a little tougher to do, obviously. That leaves third-stringer Louis Domingue as the de facto starter, at least until Jarry is ready to return. Gallant usually preferred Patrik Nemeth and rookie Braden Schneider for his bottom pair, which was the arrangement in Game 1 against the Penguins. "There’s a chance for him in this series." A two-time Stanley Cup champion with the Tampa Bay Lightning, Goodrow was supposed to be one of the players Gallant could rely on come playoff time. He would likely replace Hunt (or Ryan Reaves) on the fourth line whenever he's available. He's a big part of what we do and his attitude – his energy – is still around the rink. But now he's going to miss significant time. He can play anywhere, any position, and he’s a character guy – a leader."
