He slipped the puck past goalie Frederik Andersen with a backhanded shot from the right side of the crease.“I still probably can’t believe it’s been like 10 years (in Europe) since my last hat trick and I kind of forgot how it feels,” Barkov said. “Maybe I will realize later what happened.”Jonathan Huberdeau had a goal and an assist, and Roberto Luongo made 29 saves to help the Panthers snap a four-game skid.“I hate looking at the game sheet and seeing the minutes he (Barkov) plays but we’re in a situation where we don’t have a choice sometimes,” coach Bob Boughner said. “He was our best player tonight and the best player on the ice.”Mitchell Marner scored twice for Toronto, John Tavares added his team-high 20th goal and Andersen stopped 28 shots. The Maple Leafs have lost four of their past five.“Obviously, Barkov was the best player on the ice by 10 miles,” Maple Leafs coach Mike Babcock said. “Their team was desperate, they hadn’t won in a while, and our desperation didn’t match their skill level.”The Maple Leafs tied it at 3 with 1:39 left in regulation on Marner’s second goal.

He fired a shot from the slot that got past Andersen.“He (Barkov) probably doesn’t get enough recognition around the league for how good he is,” Tavares said. “He’s a really steady, smart two-way guy. He’s strong, big, smooth and reads the play well. He’s got great poise and a guy you have to be aware of out there.”NOTES: The Panthers have scored at least one power-play goal in 19 of their past 22 games. ..

An unnamed NHL player for a Western Conference team said he uses a marijuana vape pen after games to help him fall asleep.On Thursday, Emily Kaplan of ESPN.com provided comments from "Player X" about his legal use of marijuana, which doesn't put him at any risk of NHL punishment."Just to relax Shane Doan Jersey ," the player explained about his weed use. "Honestly, it's the easiest and most natural way for me to fall asleep and be ready for the next day."He added: "I think it comes down to this鈥攚e are elite athletes and as long as it's not performance-enhancing or illegal, we know what's best for our own bodies. I find that a couple hits of weed at night is good for me. It's legal, it's natural, I don't see anything wrong with it."The NHL does test for marijuana as part of its screening for substances of abuse and a player who tests positive for "abnormally high levels" of THC, the chief active ingredient of cannabis, can be contacted by leaders of the league's Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health (SABH) program, per Kaplan.Dr. Dave Lewis and Dr. Brian Shaw of SABH will offer treatment, but the player can decline to enter the program and won't be punished by the league for the test results or his decision to turn down the offer."The thing that we're really looking for is if there's a guy that has an issue or a problem and he needs help鈥攖hat's what we're trying to capture in that program www.floridapanthersteamshops.com ," NHLPA executive Mathieu Schneider told Kaplan. "I do think it has worked very well. We have a tremendous amount of faith in the doctors that run the program. Confidentiality in that program is of the utmost importance."In October, Edmonton Oilers superstar Connor McDavid said the NHL should look into research about substances like cannabidiol (CBD) oil for its pain-relieve uses, perStephen Whynoof the Associated Press."I say this more talking about the CBD side of it, obviously: You'd be stupid not to at least look into it," McDavid said. "When your body's sore like it is sometimes, you don't want to be taking pain stuff and taking Advil all the time. There's obviously better ways to do it."So far, 33 states in the U.S. havepassed lawsgoverning the use of marijuana, including 10 allowing for the legal recreational use of the drug. Canada, the home of seven of the NHL's 31 teams Florida Panthers T-Shirts Womens , fullylegalizedweed in June 2018.One agent raised concerns to Kaplan about the NHL's policy, however, saying the voluntary enrollment in SABH could lead to bigger issues for other drugs, such as cocaine and prescription pills:"It hurts to say this, because I am always on the players' side and advocating for players, and I would never advocate for a situation for a team to increase the ability to discipline a player, but there are a lot of players who act recklessly. I think cocaine is still a huge problem in the league. I think there are other drugs that players are abusing. If it was known the league was testing and punishing for cocaine, levels of Ambien, Adderall and a whole list of other list of drugs that get abused http://www.officialcoyotes.com/authentic-adidas-oliver-ekman-larsson-jersey , I think you would naturally have players cutting down on it. Unless players face a suspension or loss of pay, what would get their attention?"Yet, if a player does enter SABH for treatment, they can receive a fine, suspension or other penalty "if conditions are breached" during the process.
