Barkov (knee) is expected to remain unavailable for at least another 1-2 weeks, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
At this point, Barkov probably shouldn't be expected to return to the lineup until mid-December. Prior to getting hurt, the world-class center was riding a 10-game point streak during which he racked up seven goals, including two with the man advantage, and five helpers. Sam Bennett should continue to serve as the first-line center with Barkov shelved.
