Panthers adjust roster after captain Sasha Barkov suffers injury against Ottawa

news.yahoo.com — October 12, 2024 at 01:01 AM UTC

The Florida Panthers have made roster changes after captain Sasha Barkov was injured in a game against Ottawa. Barkov suffered a lower-body injury and left the ice needing assistance. Reports suggest Barkov's injury may not be serious, as he was not placed on Long Term Injured Reserve (LTIR). The Panthers recalled forward Patrick Giles from the AHL and placed Tomas Nosek on LTIR, who has been out since a preseason game. Nosek's placement on LTIR allows the Panthers to free up salary cap space. This move indicates Barkov might return sooner than expected, as LTIR would have ruled him out for at least 10 games. An update on Barkov's condition is anticipated from Coach Paul Maurice.
