Florida Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov injured his right leg in practice, joining Tkachuk and Nosek on the injured list.

Florida Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov sustained a right leg injury during training camp practice on Thursday, remaining on the ice for several minutes and being assisted to the locker room with little weight on the leg; the injury's severity and cause are unknown. The 30-year-old two-time reigning Stanley Cup champion and three-time Selke Trophy winner recorded 71 points in 67 games last season and holds franchise records in goals, assists, points, and games played. His injury adds to the Panthers' ongoing roster challenges, as forwards Matthew Tkachuk and Tomas Nosek are already sidelined—Tkachuk until at least December after surgery for a torn adductor and sports hernia, and Nosek out multiple months with a lower-body injury. The team has not released a timeline for Barkov’s return.
