2 years agoFlorida Panthers center Aleksander Barkov (lower body) is expected to play in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Final against the Hurricanes on Wednesday night. The Panthers captain sustained the injury in the first period of Game 3 on Monday after logging only 3:51 of ice time prior to leaving the contest. Panthers head coach Paul Maurice mentioned there was a possibility that Barkov could have returned in Game 3, but the team decided to be safe and keep him out for the remainder of the contest. Barkov has totaled four goals and 12 points through 15 games during the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs, and the Panthers have a chance to close out the series with a win at home to advance to the Stanley Cup Final.
