FLORIDA PANTHERS NEWS

Iffy against Toronto Barkov (undisclosed) is considered questionable for Tuesday's regular-season finale versus the Maple Leafs, Colby Guy of Florida Hockey Now reports.

Impact Barkov is evidently just dealing with some stiffness, so although there's a chance he'll miss Tuesday's regular-season finale, the 28-year-old pivot will almost certainly be ready for Game 1 of Florida's first-round playoff series. He's racked up 23 goals and 78 points through 72 contests this season.

Day-to-day ahead of finale Ekman-Larsson (upper body) is considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's clash with Toronto, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Ekman-Larsson could avoid missing any game action after having been forced to leave Saturday's meeting with the Sabres after just 3:04 of ice time. The blueliner hasn't scored a goal since Jan. 27 versus the Islanders, a stretch of 31 games without bending the twine. During that stretch, Ekman-Larsson managed 43 shots, seven assists and 56 hits while averaging 17:41 of ice time.

Sustains upper-body injury Ekman-Larsson (upper body) won't return to Saturday's game versus the Sabres.

Impact Ekman-Larsson logged just 3:04 of ice time in the contest. The Panthers have just one regular-season game left -- Tuesday at home versus the Maple Leafs -- so there's a very real chance the 32-year-old will be held out of that contest to rest up ahead of the playoffs. If he sits out, Josh Mahura or Tobias Bjornfot could enter the lineup.
