Barkov in a special role
Barkov is part of the lions’ number one power. He plays on the line of the defender, for both Miro Heiskanen that Rasmus Ristolainen were injured before the tournament.

– If I trust this, what not. We have good options for overwhelming. It was pretty fun to feed and play overwhelming with the guys.
Barkov trusts Laine
