Barkov (illness) is on the ice for warmups and is expected to play in Minnesota on Wednesday.

Barkov was a late scratch on Saturday due to an illness, and missed a second straight game on Monday. The Panthers will be without Sam Bennett (illness) on Wednesday so Barkov's return could not come at a better time. He has 29 points (9G / 20A) in 22 games this season.

Barkov (lower-body) will return on Monday in Buffalo.

Barkov has missed the last eight games due to a lower-body injury but will return to the lineup on Monday in the Panthers final contest before heading to Finland for the NHL Global Series. The defending Stanley Cup Champions are off to a fine start to the 2024-25 season, posting a 6-3-1 record, but will be overjoyed to have their captain back in the lineup. Last season, Barkov had 80 points (23G / 57A) in 73 games.

Barkov (lower-body) is out on Thursday but has a possibility to return on the weekend.

Barkov has missed the last six games due to a lower-body injury and will miss at least one more before a potential return to the lineup. The defending Stanley Cup Champions are off to a reasonable start to the 2024-25 season, posting a 4-3-1 record, but will be overjoyed to have their captain back in the lineup. Last season, Barkov had 80 points (23G / 57A) in 73 games.

Barkov (lower-body) is expected to miss 2-to-3 weeks.

Barkov had to be helped off the ice at the end of Thursday's loss in Ottawa after crashing leg-first into the end boards. All things considered, this is good news for the Panthers but they'll be extremely shorthanded on Saturday with Matthew Tkachuk (illness) also sidelined. Anton Lundell should take on a much larger role while Barkov is out. Expect Barkov to miss roughly 10 games.

Barkov (lower-body) left Thursday's game against the Senators and did not return.

Barkov suffered the injury late in the third period of Thursday's game after falling feet first into the boards and appeared to be unable to put any weight on his right leg while being helped off the ice. We can expect to get an update on the injury prior to Florida's game in Buffalo on Saturday.

Barkov (upper body) returned to practice in full on Wednesday after leaving Game 2 early.

Barkov left Game 2 in the second period after a high hit from Leon Draisaitl and had some positive news and signs on Wednesday as he returned to Florida's practice in full. The 28-year-old centre has been the definition of lock-down this offseason and is producing on both ends with his six goals and 19 points in 19 games played. He is expected to be a full go for Game 3 on Thursday in Edmonton.

A further update should be provided on Wednesday as the team partakes in their regular off-day practices.

Florida's next game is Thursday and we expect more updates to trickle out as the Panthers return to practice in the upcoming days.
