BREAKING: Panthers Lose Captain Barkov Following a Hit Into the Boards

The Panthers Captain looks like he has suffered a injury that kept him out of the rest of the first period and potentially the game.

Aleksander Barkov has been a major factor throughout the playoffs for the Panthers and especially more in the third round.

Registering goals in both previous games, he had been a major part of the Panthers 2-0 series lead.

Following this hit he left the game:

It appears to be an arm/hand injury on his left arm which would be a huge loss considering Barkov is left handed.

If Barkov were to not return, the Panthers will be at a major disadvantage potentially being a series altering injury.
