Barkov (lower body) is expected to miss 2-3 weeks but could return before the team travels to Finland for the NHL Global Series in November. Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Florida's final contest before heading to Europe is Oct. 28 against Buffalo. Barkov was injured late in Thursday's 3-1 loss to Ottawa. With Barkov and Matthew Tkachuk (illness) unavailable to play Saturday versus the Sabres, Anton Lundell will be on the top line and Patrick Giles will draw into the lineup.
