Aleksander Barkov Continues His Tear
6 years agoFlorida Panthers center Aleksander Barkov extended his multi-point streak to three games on Thursday, posting a goal and a helper in his team's 4-3 defeat to the Carolina Hurricanes. After going through a three-game pointless streak, the 23-year-old has now collected five goals, four assists, 14 shots and three power-play points in his past three contests. As a result, one of the game's best all-around players has increased his stat line to an impressive 62 points (24 goals, 38 assists) in 59 games on the season. The recent uptick in production puts Barkov in a prime position to surpass the 78-point mark he put forth last season and he's likely to set a new career-high in goals (27) as well. Make sure he's active in lineups when he laces up the skates against Colorado on Saturday.
