Barkov had a goal and an assist in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Both points came on the power play. Barkov is on a torrid scoring pace right now, with 24 points (six goals, 18 assists) in 17 games, and he's currently on a three-game, five-point streak (two goals, three assists). Barkov missed eight games due to injury this season, but he's still on pace to top 100 points for the first time...as long as he stays healthy. Barkov always seems to miss time due to injury, and he has already been sidelined once this season.

Barkov scored a power-play goal on two shots and added a shorthanded assist Wednesday in a 5-1 win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Barkov opened the scoring in the opening frame with his first goal on the man advantage in 2024-25, and he set up Sam Reinhart's 17th goal of the season in the second period. Barkov has only been held off the scoresheet twice through 12 games in November, and the all-world center has racked up four goals and 18 points in the second month of the season. The two-time Selke Trophy winner has accounted for five goals and a team-leading 16 assists through 15 appearances. Enjoy the ride if you have the star Finnish center.

Barkov scored a goal in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Barkov has 18 points over 11 contests since he returned from a lower-body injury. The 29-year-old center is at four goals, 19 points, 28 shots on net, 13 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 13 appearances. He's playing at an elite level while on the top line, and it wouldn't be shocking to see him reach the 80-point mark for the third time in four years even with an eight-game absence already on his ledger.

Barkov recorded a shorthanded goal and two even-strength assists in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Barkov set up goals from Evan Rodrigues and Dmitry Kulikov, and he also found the back of the net in the late stages of the second period when the Jets were playing with the man advantage. Barkov missed eight games between Oct. 12 and Oct. 26 with a lower-body injury, but he's been nothing short of spectacular since returning to the ice, pushing his point streak to eight games and posting four multi-point efforts in that span.

Barkov notched three assists, including one in the power play, in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Barkov has been on an absolute tear since returning from an eight-game absence due to a lower-body injury, and the star playmaker is making sure his presence is felt as Florida rides an impressive winning run. In four games since returning to action, Barkov has two goals and eight assists, notching three multi-point efforts in that span and racking up three of those helpers in the power play. The small sample size applies here, as Barkov has played just six games, but he's averaging 1.83 points -- a pace that shows just how good he's been to start the season, but also a figure that shows a regression is likely to happen sooner rather than later.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old center had missed the prior eight games with a lower-body injury, but he logged 19:29 of ice time Monday, including 3:40 with the man advantage, and Barkov appears to be fully recovered.

Barkov (lower body) will return to the lineup Monday against Buffalo, according to Doug Plagens of the Panthers Radio Network.

EDGE Analysis

Following an eight-game absence, Barkov will return to the top line and first power-play unit. He has produced one assist, two shots on goal, three blocked shots and one hit in two appearances this season. Barkov's return will make Adam Boqvist a healthy scratch versus the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis
