Aleksander Barkov Scores Overtime Game-Winner On Friday
6 years agoFlorida Panthers center Aleksander Barkov buried a cross-ice feed from Jonathan Huberdeau to give his team a 3-2 overtime victory against one of the league's hottest teams, the Buffalo Sabres, on Friday. The 23-year-old also recorded five shots on goal and two blocks in a team-high 26:03 of ice-time. Barkov is once again finding a way to produce at a near point-per-game level this season and now has 22 points (nine goals, 13 assists) to go along with seven power-play points and 68 shots on goal in 24 games played on the campaign. Known as one of the game's best two-way centers, Barkov has proven that he's highly valuable in fantasy leagues as well. Make sure to insert him back into lineups when the Cats play the Lightning on Saturday.
