SUNRISE (CBSMiami) – The injury-depleted Florida Panthers have had many of their top forwards miss extended time this season.
Aleksander Barkov, Nick Bjugstad, Jussi Jokinen and Jonathan Huberdeau are just some of Florida’s forwards that have missed multiple games as the team has struggled to find its scoring touch.
That is understandable considering there has been very little opportunity for players to get used to having the same linemates, as the injuries have caused an almost daily shuffling of the team’s lineup.
With so many of the Panthers top players missing time, there isn’t much for the NHL to choose from when making selections for its All-Star Game rosters.
