Aleksander Barkov Returns With A Five-Point Effort
2 years agoFlorida Panthers center Aleksander Barkov re-entered the lineup with a sensational five-point performance against Montreal Thursday, leading his team to a 7-2 victory. He started his night at the office by posting the fastest hat trick in franchise history, racking up three goals inside the first 15:22 of action. Florida's captain then went on to add two assists to his tally. Three of his points came on the power play. Barkov was back on the ice after missing three games because of a lower-body problem and he pushed his points tally to 27 for the season. After a slow start to the campaign, he is now averaging over a point per game through 26 outings and will hope that health issues are finally behind him, with Barkov also recently having missed time with pneumonia.
