Florida Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov went down with an apparent injury to his right leg during a practice skate on Thursday, joining a growing list of players who are unavailable for the team right now. After an awkward collision with teammate Niko Mikkola sent Barkov down to the ice, he struggled to get up and was ultimately helped off the rink without putting any weight on his right leg. Barkov is currently undergoing evaluation to determine how serious the injury is.

We showed a gritty and determined nature to us today, and I think that was important. You have to do that here at Millwall because they're a good side and it's a really difficult place to come -- I've managed here many times and I've played here, and you've got to be stand up and be counted. Every single player, everybody who's on the coach, has got to do their bit to make sure you give yourself the best chance of getting a result.

"I think is a short-term thing," Boston manager Alex Cora said of Gonzalez before Saturday's game. "He wasn't bouncing back the way we expected early."

Nunez highlighted that being sent down allowed him to refine his pitches and get into game shape, preparing him for a successful return to the majors.

I'm just going to leave it as we've got a bunch of guys working through some things, progressing, potentially playing on Monday, potentially not.
