Breaking: Panthers Captain Suffers Horrible Injury After Dirty Hit
Barkov Injured By Dirty Hit From Lacombe
Last night the Florida Panthers took on the Anaheim Ducks and were able to squeeze out a 2-1 victory. However, the win came at a huge cost, as Florida Captain Alexander Barkov was injured on a dirty hit from Jackson Lacombe.

It's impossible to know the extent of the injury just from the video of the play. However, one doctor posted all of the possible scenarios for Barkov on social media.
In order of likelihood for Barkov:
Bone bruise/capsular injury (usually shorter term, max 1-2 weeks in NHLers)
PCL injury (time off depends on grade)
Have seen MCL injuries and torn meniscus with this too but unlikely
Last, torn ACL possible but highly unlikely in this case

Knee-on-knee collisions are some of the scariest in the NHL, as they happen quickly and can seriously injure a player's leg. While the game happens quickly, it's commonly understood to be a dirty play when a player makes no effort to get out of the way of the knee-on-knee.
The Panthers will miss Barkov. Through 16 games this year, he has tallied 17 points. What is more impressive, though, is his +14 rating. Panthers are hopeful that Barkov will make a speedy recovery.
