Barkov missed Saturday's game vs. the Hurricanes but will be a game-time decision on Monday. Barkov was on the ice for the morning skate but skated on the "fifth line," so he looks like a true game-time decision.
Barkov is entering the final year of a six-year, $35.4M deal and is now signed through the 2030 NHL season. The $10.0M AAV cap-hit for Barkov represents a $4.1M AAV raise for the 26-year-old. Barkov is coming off of a season in which he scored 26 goals with 32 assists (58 points) in 50 games.
Barkov has missed the last six games with a lower-body injury but will play Saturday vs. the Blue Jackets. In addition to Barkov, the Panthers will also get Patric Hornqvist back, providing a huge boost to their top-6 and power-play. Barkov has had an outstanding season so far, scoring 13 goals with 24 assists (37 points) in 31 games.
Barkov will miss his sixth straight game but he was on the ice for the morning skate and it looks likely that he'll play Saturday vs. the Blue Jackets. Noel Acciari will stick between Carter Verhaeghe and Mason Marchment while Barkov is out.
Barkov is expected to miss his fourth straight game on Tuesday but head coach Joel Quenneville expects him to play either Thursday, Saturday or Sunday. With Barkov out, Noel Acciari is expected to centre a line with Carter Verhaeghe and Anthony Duclair.
Barkov was a late scratch from Tuesday's game after getting hurt in warmups and will miss Thursday's game as well. With Barkov out, Noel Acciari picked up two assists in 19:48 TOI in his spot, so he could make for an interesting DFS play tomorrow. Head coach Joel Quenneville said that Barkov is "doing better today" so don't expect him to be out long-term.
Barkov missed the last three games with a lower-body injury but head coach Joel Quenneville said that "he looks good" and will play vs. the Penguins on Saturday. The Panthers went 1-1-1 while being outscored 11-to-7 in the three games without Barkov, who has two assists in two games vs. the Penguins this season.
Barkov joined his teammates for the morning skate but will not play vs. Vegas. The fact that he was able to skate this morning is a great sign that he's close and his teammates expect him back in the lineup on Saturday.
Barkov left Saturday's game vs. the Canadiens with a lower-body injury and did not return. Head coach Joel Quenneville said that their captain will miss tonight's game and is day-to-day.
Barkov left Saturday's game in Nashville but is good-to-go for Tuesday's game. This is huge news for the Panthers, who could be without their second-line centre, Vincent Trocheck. Barkov is still looking for his first goal of the season, having recorded just six assists in his first eight games of the season.
Barkov played just 1:55 TOI before departing Saturday’s game with an upper-body injury. Early reports were that Barkov was day-to-day but the fact that he was on the ice on Monday suggests that the Panthers’ No.1 centre could be available for Tuesday’s game vs. the Penguins.
Barkov was hurt in the Panthers win over the Bruins on Thursday and will miss two must-win games for the Panthers this weekend. This is an incredibly huge loss for the Panthers, but Barkov is expected to be back in the playoffs, if they can get there without him.
Barkov missed Saturday’s loss to Colorado but was back on the Panthers top line at Monday’s morning skate so look for him to suit up against the Red Wings tonight. Barkov has placed himself firmly as one of the NHL’s best centres this season and comes into Monday with four goals and two assists (six points) in his last six games.
Barkov suffered the injury midway through Thursday’s win over the Jets but it sounds like a minor injury that will only cost him a game or two. After tonight the Panthers travel to Detroit for a meeting with the Red Wings on Monday, so monitor Barkov’s status during their morning skate in a few days.
Barkov picked up one assist in 12:12 TOI before leaving last night’s win over the Jets with an upper-body injury. Barkov has been all but ruled out of Saturday’s game but the Panthers are hopeful that he will play Monday vs. the Red Wings. Their optimism suggests that the injury is very minor so it looks like Barkov owners have dodged a bullet.
