Barkey recorded a power-play goal and an even-strength assist in Friday's 7-3 win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Barkey is far from being a consistent scoring weapon despite his top-six role, but that isn't surprising for a 20-year-old rookie. He has done a good job of late, posting five points (one goal, four helpers) over his last five contests. Since making his NHL debut against the Rangers on Dec. 20 with a two-assist effort, the 2023 third-round pick has racked up eight points in 16 appearances with the Flyers.

Barkey notched two assists, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Barkey was scratched in Buffalo on Wednesday, and he responded well when he checked back into the lineup. His line with Sean Couturier and Matvei Michkov was arguably the Flyers' best unit in a game where no one looked all that good. Barkey has a goal, four assists, 14 shots on net, 10 hits and a minus-1 rating over 12 appearances. He'll need to continue to prove himself to avoid a demotion to AHL Lehigh Valley, but Barkey's competitive, two-way game bodes well for his long-term future in the NHL.

Barkey scored a goal and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Barkey's tally at 7:16 of the first period was his first NHL goal. He's added two assists, nine shots on net, seven hits, seven blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over seven appearances since getting his first call-up from AHL Lehigh Valley on Dec. 19. Barkey's been put in a position to succeed on the second line, and he's also getting power-play time. The 20-year-old will be prone to ups and downs as all rookies are, but his future is promising as a middle-six staple who can chip in decent offense.

Barkey (undisclosed) should play Sunday against the Kraken, Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barkey left the game in the second period of the game right before the holiday break due to a hit from behind. The 20-year-old just had a bit of a headache, according to his head coach Rick Tocchet, and should be fine to play Sunday. Barkey has two assists in three career NHL games, all coming in this NHL stint.

Barkey (undisclosed) was injured on a hit from behind in the second period of Tuesday's game versus the Blackhawks. He did not play in the third period and will be evaluated in the coming days, Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barkey will have some extra time to recover thanks to the holiday break, as the Flyers' next game is Sunday in Seattle. The 20-year-old forward has been seeing middle-six usage since he was called up last Friday. Consider Barkey to be day-to-day until further information is available.

Barkey put up two assists in a 5-4 shootout loss to the Rangers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Barkey impressed everyone Saturday in his NHL debut, especially head coach Rick Tocchet. "The way he played, the way he competes, yeah, I'm going to fight for him," Tocchet told reporters after the game. Barkey has 16 points in 26 games as an AHL rookie this season after being an important part of the OHL's London Knights' Memorial Cup win last season.

Barkey was recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Barkey hasn't yet made his NHL debut, but he's recorded seven goals, nine assists, 20 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 26 appearances to begin his first season in the AHL. He'll join the Flyers ahead of the holiday break to provide additional depth after defenseman Egor Zamula was sent down Friday.

Barkey scored two goals in AHL Lehigh Valley's 7-3 win over Springfield on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Barkey has six points over his last three games. Overall, he's at four goals and nine points through 13 outings. Barkey likely just needed some time to adjust to the professional ranks after playing in the OHL last year, but he's quickly getting up to speed with the Phantoms.

Barkey scored a goal and added three assists in AHL Lehigh Valley's 6-2 win over Bridgeport on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Barkey was off to an unremarkable start to the 2025-26 season before Wednesday's breakout effort. He's now at two goals, five assists, 17 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over 11 appearances with the Phantoms. It's not out of place for a player to struggle when stepping up to a new level, and Barkey is an AHL rookie this year. The 2023 third-round pick will have plenty of time to continue developing his game before the Flyers need him to be NHL-ready.

Barkey has 19 goals and 47 assists over 42 games with OHL London this season.

EDGE Analysis

Barkey is also the team captain, displaying a little leadership to go with his high-end offense. The 2023 third-round pick has averaged over 1.5 points per game over the last two seasons -- he had 102 points over 64 regular-season contests and 31 points over 22 games between the playoffs and Memorial Cup in 2023-24. He's taken a small step back on offense, but his two-way game allows him to dominate this level of play. He'll be 20 years old in April and is likely to be with AHL Lehigh Valley for 2025-26.
