Panthers' Aleksander Barkov: Keeps sizzling streak alive
Aleksander Barkov notched three assists, including one in the power play, in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Predators.Barkov has been on an absolute tear since returning from an eight-game absence due to a lower-body injury, and the star playmaker is making sure his presence is felt as Florida rides an impressive winning run. In four games since returning to action, Barkov has two goals and eight assists, notching three multi-point efforts in that span and racking up three of those helpers in the power play. The small sample size applies here, as Barkov has played just six games, but he's averaging 1.83 points -- a pace that shows just how good he's been to start the season, but also a figure that shows a regression is likely to happen sooner rather than later.
