Florida Panthers forward Aleksander Barkov will be 'out a few days' with a lower-body injury, Panthers coach Tom Rowe announced following Wednesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, according to George Richards of the Miami Herald.
Barkov left midway through the second period and did not return to the game.
Florida will recall forward Michael Sgarbossa in the absence of Barkov, reports Harvey Fialkov of the Sun-Sentinel.
Sgarbossa has appeared in nine NHL games this season with the Anaheim Ducks. He was dealt to the Panthers in November.
