SASHA BARKOV LOOKS GOOD IN TEAL!

Even though he missed the game with a hand injury, the Cats picked up Aleksander Barkov on his bobblehead night and posted a 4-1 win over the San Jose Sharks. Barkov would more than make up for it in the games to come. “The thing that I heard the most when I came here is, ‘You have no idea how good Barkov is,’” remarked coach Paul Maurice. “I’ve got a [expletive] TV. I’ve got a pretty good idea. It’s not my first game. I’ve seen just about every playoff … anyway, they were right.”
