The Panthers captain has become part of the South Florida landscape over his 12 seasons. He’s also helped turn a floundering franchise into a champion.

Barkov had two assists and added two hits in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Predators. Barkov helped out on Sam Bennett's power-play goal early in the first period and Gustav Forsling's even-strength tally in the third.

Aleksander Barkov Jr. and Roman Josi will be two of the top players to keep an eye on when the Florida Panthers meet the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena on Tuesday, February 25 at 8:00 PM ET.
