SUNRISE (CBSMiami) – Aleksander Barkov made a major impact in his return from a concussion last time out and hopes to build off that when his Florida Panthers begin a five-game road trip against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday.
The 20-year-old center scored a pair of goals in Thursday’s 3-2 victory over Arizona as the Panthers extended their point streak to four games (3-0-1).
Future Hall-of-Famer Jaromir Jagr called Barkov the team’s best player earlier in the season, and the 2013 second overall draft pick is proving him right by collecting 37 points in 44 games.
