While the Sharks held on to Joe Thornton, the Sharks made a last-minute deal before Monday's NHL trade deadline.

The Sharks went into the deadline without a first-round pick.

#sjsharks recoup the first-round pick they didn’t have from trade with #bolts for Goodrow, who began the deadline period with two (their own and #canucks) and now have none.

Goodrow, 26, forever will be remembered as the hero who scored the game-winning goal against the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 7 of their first-round Stanley Cup playoff series last season. He has scored a career-high 24 points this season -- eight goals and 16 assists.

Goodrow has 71 points over 268 career games. The Toronto native has scored 26 goals and 45 assists as a Shark.
