This is starting to get a little out of hand. Barkov, the shorthanded king of South Florida, scored his league-leading fifth shorthanded goal of the season on Friday night, moving into a tie with Pavel Bure for the second-most shorthanded goals in a season in franchise history. With one more, he'll move into a tie with Tom Fitzgerald for the top spot. So how did Barkov's latest shorty come to be? Well, it all started with a nice poke check from Vincent Trocheck along the boards near the blue line, which led to a 2-on-1 break for Florida. Carrying the puck up the ice with Barkov on his left, Trocheck elected to shoot rather than pass, and although Subban made the initial save, Barkov was there to bang home the rebound to put the Panthers up 2-1 at 15:55 of the first period. Florida's representative at this year's All-Star Game, Barkov ranks third on the Panthers in goals (15) and second in points (43). "He's dangerous 5-on-5, and obviously shorthanded as well," Panthers coach Bob Boughner said. "Huge goal. He was the best player on the ice tonight. That line was going." Florida leads the league with nine shorthanded goals this season - two more than the next highest team.
