Spin: The game was actually scoreless through the first 20 minutes and change, but Barkov kicked open the floodgates for the Florida offense with an impressive individual effort -- he stole the puck at his own blue line, out-raced Montreal defenders down the ice and then beat Cayden Primeau glove side. Barkov missed a couple games in November with a minor knee issue but has been his usual productive self when on the ice, racking up five goals and 14 points in his last 12 contests.
