Barkov (undisclosed) will play in Tuesday's season finale against Toronto, per Colby Guy of Florida Hockey Now.
EDGE Analysis
Barkov has put together another solid season, recording 23 goals and 55 assists in 72 appearances. The captain will likely slot back into the first line and get one more game under his belt before the playoffs start. He will look to keep producing on the power play where he has five goals and 24 assists this year.

Barkov (undisclosed) is considered questionable for Tuesday's regular-season finale versus the Maple Leafs, Colby Guy of Florida Hockey Now reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barkov is evidently just dealing with some stiffness, so although there's a chance he'll miss Tuesday's regular-season finale, the 28-year-old pivot will almost certainly be ready for Game 1 of Florida's first-round playoff series. He's racked up 23 goals and 78 points through 72 contests this season.

Barkov scored two goals in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Both goals came in the third period, erasing an early 1-0 deficit and setting the stage for Sam Reinhart to play hero with the only successful shootout attempt. Barkov is up to 21 goals on the season, his ninth straight 20-goal campaign, and Saturday's production also got the 28-year-old to 70 points for the fifth time.

Barkov produced a goal and an assist in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old center's efforts gave the Panthers 1-0 and 2-1 leads, but they couldn't solve Semyon Varlamov over the second half of the game. Barkov has a goal and three points in two games since returning from an undisclosed issue that cost him three contests, and on the season he's collected 19 goals and 69 points through 64 games.

Barkov (undisclosed) won't play Thursday versus the Predators, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barkov was labeled a game-time decision earlier in the day, but it appears he'll have to miss at least one contest. His absence will have a ripple effect on the lineup, with Anton Lundell sliding onto the first line and Evan Rodrigues centering the second line. Barkov's next chance to play is Saturday versus the Rangers.
