Aleksander Barkov is a Finnish professional ice hockey player who serves as the captain of the Florida Panthers. Notably, in the 2013 NHL Draft, the Panthers selected Barkov with the second overall pick. He wasted no time making his mark in the NHL, scoring a goal on his debut at just 18 years and 31 days old, becoming the youngest player to do so since 1943. However, Barkov's breakout season came in 2015-16 when he signed a six-year contract with the Panthers and helped lead the team to an Atlantic Division title.

Named captain of the Panthers in 2018, Barkov continued to excel on the ice, earning accolades such as the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy. In the 2021-22 season, Barkov solidified his place in Panthers history by surpassing Olli Jokinen as the team's all-time leading goal scorer. Barkov has won two Frank J. Selke trophies in 2021 and 2024 as the best defensive forward. In 2024, he won his first Stanley Cup championship for the Florida Panthers as a team captain.
