Barkov (lower body) didn't practice Saturday and will miss the Panthers' road matchup with the Sabres, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

While the extent of Barkov's injury is still unclear, the Panthers will be without their captain for at least one game. The 29-year-old center had one assist in two games this year after posting 23 goals and 80 points across 73 contests in 2023-24. The earliest Barkov could return would be Monday against the Bruins. Anton Lundell figures to move into a top-six role in his absence, with Patrick Giles slotting into the lineup.
