Panthers' Aleksander Barkov: Remains sidelined indefinitely

Barkov (undisclosed) is "not close" to a return, Harvey Fialkov of the Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Barkov has only recently entered the 2-to-3 week timeline for his return, so it now looks like it's going to be closer to three weeks if not more. Hopefully, the team will provide a bit more clarity on when we can expect the 21-year-old Finn back, but until he's healthy, Vincent Trocheck will likely continue to see top-line duties.
