by Matt Teague from on (#4YV98)
Florida Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov will not be in the lineup for Monday's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, head coach Joel Quenneville confirmed, according to TSN's Mark Masters.
The Finnish star exited with a lower-body injury in the second period of Saturday's game against the Montreal Canadiens. He did not return to that contest and is currently listed as day-to-day.
Barkov, 24, has potted 16 goals for Florida and ranks second in team scoring with 54 points through 50 games in 2019-20.
The Panthers enter Monday's tilt two points back of the Maple Leafs for third in the Atlantic Division with a pair of games in hand.
