Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov to miss game against winless Sabres

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

Florida Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov will miss Saturday's game against the Buffalo Sabres due to a lower-body injury. Barkov was injured late in a 3-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators and is expected to be out week to week. The Panthers, the reigning Stanley Cup champions, are facing a Sabres team that has lost all three of its games this season. Both teams have struggled on the power play, with the Panthers and Sabres yet to score a goal with the man advantage. Buffalo welcomes back forward Zach Benson from injury, while JJ Peterka is likely to return after missing time due to a concussion. The Panthers will start goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, while the Sabres will choose between Devon Levi and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen.
