The Panthers got a much needed win last night at home after a 4 game losing streak on the road, but it might have come at a cost.
You can see the play in the videos below, it looked ugly in the moment for Barkov’s knee, but there are reports that he was walking around after the game.
The Panthers have said that they will further evaluate the injury to check for any serious damage.
Fingers crossed!

Verhaeghe said he saw Barkov walking in the room after the game and doesn’t think the injury is as serious as it looked in the moment.
Fingers crossed.

Carter Verhaeghe said he just sat Sasha Barkov in the locker room and “it looked like he’s not that bad.” pic.twitter.com/jFqLOrmwxY
