Florida captain Aleksander Barkov left Game 3 of the Panthers' Eastern Conference finals matchup against the Carolina Hurricanes on Monday night with a lower body injury. The Panthers listed him as questionable to return, with no other specifics offered on the nature of the problem. Barkov took a hit from Carolina's Jack Drury with about 7 minutes left in the opening period, without any obvious signs of major discomfort afterward.
If three-time Stanley Cup winner Joel Quenneville is looking to return to coaching next season, he hasn’t told NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman of that plan.
