Aleksander Barkov Confident And Ready For Training Camp Return

Florida Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov is available for the start of training camp after missing the entire 2025-26 campaign with a knee injury. Barkov expressed confidence ahead of his comeback, stating that the hardest part of his rehabilitation is behind him. Although he missed last season, he logged three goals and 11 points in 10 outings for Team Finland at the 2026 IIHF World Championship. When healthy, Barkov remains a point-per-game player.
