Panthers' Aleksander Barkov: Sinks game-winner in overtime

Barkov secured the game-winning goal in overtime Thursday, helping the Panthers to a 2-1 road win over the Red Wings.

Analysis:

With 2:04 elapsed in overtime, Barkov jumped out on a breakaway and hushed the crowd with his third tally of the season. This snapped a 21-game goalless skid, but the Finn does have a team-high 12 helpers to his name this season, and he's played in all 24 games so far. A 50-point campaign is certainly attainable if he keeps up this pace and stays healthy.
