Barkov (upper body) is doubtful to play this weekend, Colby Guy of The Palm Beach Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barkov is projected to miss the rest of the Panthers' road trip, which includes stops in Ottawa on Saturday and Detroit on Sunday. The 29-year-old's injury is not considered serious, but the Panthers are taking a cautious approach with one of their most important players. Anton Lundell should continue to see top-six minutes until Barkov is deemed healthy enough to play.

Barkov (upper body) won't play Wednesday versus the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Barkov was banged up in Tuesday's game against the Canadiens but was able to finish that contest. However, the Panthers look to be taking a cautious approach with the center since they'll likely be in the playoffs -- though Wednesday's game is important for seeding. Jonah Gadjovich is expected to enter the lineup while Anton Lundell figures to move into the top six to cover Barkov's absence.

Barkov tallied two assists and dished out three hits in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Both of Barkov's apples were primary assists on goals scored by Sam Reinhart and Seth Jones. The 29-year-old Barkov is up to 48 assists, 67 points and 138 shots on net in 63 appearances this season. The Panthers' star center leads the team in assists and is tied for 21st in the league for helpers. As the regular season winds down, Barkov should contend for the 75-point mark for the fourth consecutive year while the Panthers look to reclaim the top spot in the Atlantic Division. He has excellent fantasy value for the remainder of the season.

Barkov dished a power-play assist and scored the game-winning tally in the shootout of Sunday's 4-3 win over Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

Barkov's helper came on a second-period power play where he helped linemate Sam Reinhart find the back of the net. Barkov then opened the shootout by scoring a backhand tally, which would be all the Panthers needed to win the game. Overall, the 29-year-old center has 45 assists, 64 points and 135 shots on net in 61 outings this season. Barkov currently ranks 34th in points across the league and has 10 points in his last 10 games. While he's been steady offensively as of late, his fantasy value takes a hit for the time being as the Panthers won't take the ice again until Friday versus Utah. When he does take the ice, however, Barkov is a lineup lock in all fantasy formats thanks to his elite playmaking numbers.

Barkov scored a power-play goal on two shots, added two hits and logged two PIM in Thursday's 1-0 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Barkov scored for the second game in a row, lifting the Panthers to a hard-earned win with his tally 29 seconds into overtime to end the goalie duel between Sergei Bobrovsky and Elvis Merzlikins. Barkov is up to 19 goals, 63 points, 131 shots on net, 75 hits, 52 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 59 appearances. He's earned 26 of his points on the power play, including nine of his goals.

Barkov scored a power-play goal on three shots and added an assist in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Barkov helped establish a 2-0 lead early in the second period, but it wasn't enough. He'd been held off the scoresheet in the previous three games, which matched his longest slump of the season. The center is up to 18 goals, 62 points (25 on the power play), 129 shots on net, 73 hits, 51 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 58 outings this season.

Barkov recorded an empty-net goal and delivered two power-play assists in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Barkov had a hand in each of the three goals scored by the Panthers in this win. Aside from setting up the team's first two goals on the power play, he delivered the final blow with an empty-netter in the dying moments when the Blue Jackets were all out on the attack looking for a late equalizer. Barkov is having another excellent season and has recorded five multi-point games across his last eight appearances, giving him 11 points (four goals, seven helpers) in that span.

Barkov scored both of Florida's goals and took four shots on net in Monday's 2-1 win over Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Barkov cashed in both of his goals in the second period. The first of his two tallies was unassisted and the second was on the power play. The 29-year-old center is up to 16 goals, 56 points and 115 shots in 52 appearances this season. While Barkov has been kept off the scoresheet in three of his five appearances since the 4 Nations Face-Off break, the two games he has contributed offensively were multi-point performances. He currently ranks 35th in the league in points despite missing a chunk of time near the start of the season. While Barkov's value in fantasy is impacted by the loss of Matthew Tkachuk (groin), it is encouraging to see Barkov continue to post points in the early stages of Tkachuk's absence. Barkov remains an excellent play in all fantasy formats.

Barkov had two assists and added two hits in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Barkov helped out on Sam Bennett's power-play goal early in the first period and Gustav Forsling's even-strength tally in the third. The 29-year-old Barkov saw a six-game point streak end Saturday against the Kraken, but he has multiple points in five of his seven outings in February. For the season, the star center is up to 14 goals, 40 helpers, 107 shots on net, 57 hits, 45 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating across 49 appearances.

Barkov scored a goal for Finland on Saturday in a 4-3 overtime win over Sweden at the 4 Nations Face-Off in Montreal.

EDGE Analysis

Barkov tapped in the game-tying goal on a net-front battle in the second period. The Finnish captain played 19:50 and finished with two shots, two blocked shots and one hit. Barkov had been held off the scoresheet in Finland's first game, but he had come into the tourney on a six-game, 11-point streak (three goals, eight assists).
