SUNRISE, Fla. -- Florida Panthers center Aleksander Barkov will be out 2-3 weeks with an undisclosed injury, coach Tom Rowe said Thursday after a 3-2 overtime loss to the Montreal Canadiens.
Barkov left in the second period of a 3-2 shootout loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday. He was hit in the side by a slap shot from teammate Keith Yandle, but Rowe said earlier Thursday that the injury was not to Barkov's ribs.
