Aleksander Barkov, Sam Bennett Return Saturday
2 years agoFlorida Panthers centers Aleksander Barkov (hand) and Sam Bennett (lower body) will rejoin the lineup for Saturday's big clash with the Penguins. The Panthers captain has been unavailable for the last three games, while Bennett has missed six straight contests. Eetu Luostarinen has been greatly benefiting from the duo's absence and is set for an even bigger role Saturday, with head coach Paul Maurice having decided to move him to the left wing on the first line. Anton Lundell, who centered the top line in Barkov's absence, drops down to the third. Bennett will take up his normal position as the second-line center.
