Barkov eager for return, while Marchand could be back for Panthers within weeks, AP source says

Barkov hopes to return to Florida Panthers by the end of November, while Marchand could be back within weeks, according to an AP source. Both players sustained injuries during Florida's opening road trip. Barkov missed all of last season due to a right knee injury, while Marchand injured his left leg in the trip's final game. Barkov expressed his happiness about the positive news and assured that the Panthers' medical team will take good care of him.
