The 28-year-old continues to be a pleasant surprise in a top-six role -- he now has 36 points through 51 outings this season.

Barabanov recorded a power-play assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win over Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Barabanov needs just seven more points to match the career high of 39 he put up last season in his first full NHL campaign. At his current pace, the 28-year-old winger should be capable of reaching the 50-point threshold this year, making him a solid fantasy option in nearly all formats.
