Florida Panthers forward Aleksander Barkov doesn't appear to have suffered a serious injury on Thursday against the Chicago Blackhawks, but it will keep him out of action this weekend.

He will not play Saturday against the Dallas Stars, and will likely be reevaluated Monday, Panthers head coach Gerard Gallant told George Richards of the Miami Herald.

Shawn Thornton will take his spot in the lineup on Saturday, and no call-up is expected.

The 20-year-old left Thursday's contest and didn't return after reportedly taking a shot to the wrist.

Barkov has three goals and three assists in seven games.
