## Resource

Aleksander Barkov is back, healthier than ever, and leading the Florida Panthers into a new season with fire in his belly. After knee surgery last fall, he dominated the World Championship, scoring 11 points in 10 games to help Finland win gold — and he knew right away he was good to go. Now, as captain and Selke Trophy winner, he’s anchoring a roster that’s returning most of its Cup-winning core, minus goalie Sergei Bobrovsky (now in Toronto), who’s been replaced by Jacob Markstrom — a move Barkov loves. And with Brady Tkachuk joining the fold, eager to learn from and play alongside Barkov — whom he calls one of the top three players in the world — the Panthers feel like they’ve reloaded for another deep playoff run.
