Rotowire
Barkov (upper body) won't play Wednesday versus the Maple Leafs.
Barkov was banged up in Tuesday's game against the Canadiens but was able to finish that contest.

Panthers' Aleksander Barkov: Dishes two helpers Sunday
Rotowire
Barkov tallied two assists and dished out three hits in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Canadiens.
Both of Barkov's apples were primary assists on goals scored by Sam Reinhart and Seth Jones. The 29-year-old Barkov is up to 48 assists, 67 points and 138 shots on net in 63 appearances this season.

He has excellent fantasy value for the remainder of the season.

Panthers' Aleksander Barkov: Plays hero in shootout
Rotowire
Barkov dished a power-play assist and scored the game-winning tally in the shootout of Sunday's 4-3 win over Pittsburgh.
Barkov's helper came on a second-period power play where he helped linemate Sam Reinhart find the back of the net. Barkov then opened the shootout by scoring a backhand tally, which would be all the Panthers needed to win the game. Overall, the 29-year-old center has 45 assists, 64 points and 135 shots on net in 61 outings this season. Barkov currently ranks 34th in points across the league and has 10 points in his last 10 games. While he's been steady offensively as of late, his fantasy value takes a hit for the time being as the Panthers won't take the ice again until Friday versus Utah. When he does take the ice, however, Barkov is a lineup lock in all fantasy formats thanks to his elite playmaking numbers.

Rotowire
Barkov scored both of Florida's goals and took four shots on net in Monday's 2-1 win over Tampa Bay.
Barkov cashed in both of his goals in the second period. The first of his two tallies was unassisted and the second was on the power play.

While Barkov has been kept off the scoresheet in three of his five appearances since the 4 Nations Face-Off break, the two games he has contributed offensively were multi-point performances. He currently ranks 35th in the league in points despite missing a chunk of time near the start of the season. While Barkov's value in fantasy is impacted by the loss of Matthew Tkachuk (groin), it is encouraging to see Barkov continue to post points in the early stages of Tkachuk's absence.
