Canadiens @ Panthers Top Six Minutes: A Bark from a Panther? Yes, indeed.

Barkov’s return is too much for Montreal to handle.

For our new readers and members, the Top Six Minutes is a continuation of the discussion in the game thread. We try to keep it light and entertaining. Full recaps are up the morning after every game.

First Period:

• Can both teams lose, in order to increase Montreal’s chances for a good draft pick?
• Damn Swedes, Forsling makes it 1-0 Panthers. Goes off Barkov’s leg, so damn Finns too.
