Florida Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov will undergo further examinations on Friday regarding his latest injury.

The Finnish star injured his left knee early in the game played against the San Jose Sharks on Friday.

Panthers head coach Paul Maurice stated in the post-game press conference that the new injury is not related to Barkov’s injury from last season.

– Barkov is going for tests. We will likely know more tomorrow afternoon, Maurice revealed to the media after the game.

Barkov missed the entire last NHL season due to an injury to his right knee. This time, it is an injury to his left knee. The star’s injury will be examined in California.

The Panthers lost the away game played early Friday morning Finnish time to the Sharks in overtime 3–4.
