🇫🇮 Aleksander Barkov.
Tore the ACL & MCL in his right knee during a training camp drill in September.
Missed entire NHL season after two Stanley Cups with Florida.
Comes back to captain Finland to an IIHF #MensWorlds Gold Medal.
Guy is a WINNER. 🥇
Aleksander Barkov missed the ENTIRE season with injury... then pulled up to the World Championship and captained Finland to Gold 🥇🇫🇮
Put the whole NHL on notice: he's officially BACK
Aleksander Barkov becomes only the second player in professional hockey history to both captain an NHL team to a Stanley Cup Championship and his country to a World Hockey Championship.
Sidney Crosby was the only one prior to today.
Generational talent.
