To me this looks like Garland did try to chip it up the boards, although blindly. He likely sensed Theodore coming right behind him. Garland really wasn't open.
Goose looks at the VGK when he's still in front of the net. Then puts his head down and sends it blindly up the boards. He had time, he didn't have to panic.
Goligoski had all the time in the world there and made a shitty play. That's on him. He has to know VGK forecheckers are waiting on his outlet forward.
He has been doing no look backwards passes every game this year, sometimes into the slot.
Park him.
