The Florida Panthers will be without Aleksander Barkov for the remainder of their game versus the Detroit Red Wings on Monday.
As per multiple reports, Barkov will not return due to an upper-body injury suffered after a hit from Justin Abdelkader early in the second period.
Abdelkader wasn’t given a penalty on the play. Barkov didn’t play another shift after that hit.
In 42 games this season, the 20-year-old Barkov has 16 goals and 35 points.
Being told #FlaPanthers Sasha Barkov was pulled from the game due to possible concussion.
