Barkov scored the game-winning goal during Friday's 2-1 overtime win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Barkov was involved directly in the Panthers' two goals in Friday's tight victory, setting up Uvis Balinskis' second-period tally before scoring the winner. Barkov controlled the puck in the circle and blasted a snap shot past Joel Hofer to give the Panthers three consecutive wins with only 17 seconds left in overtime. Barkov has amassed 10 goals, 32 points, 58 shots, 27 hits and 23 blocked shots across 24 games this season.

EDGE Analysis

Barkov returned from a two-game absence due to an illness, though the lopsided nature of this contest allowed the Panthers to take it easy on their top center.

Barkov is up to 30 points, 55 shots on net, 27 hits, 21 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 23 appearances, so fantasy managers shouldn't hesitate to have him active again.
