  • As the Panthers' franchise leader, Aleksander Barkov has 52 game-winning goals and added six playoff goals as Florida won its second consecutive Stanley Cup.
  • Panthers coach Paul Maurice said Aleksander Barkov was getting further evaluation Thursday and `I'll have a better answer for you tomorrow`, with no immediate word on the injury's extent.
