Barashev (upper body) has been recalled by the Blues, Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barbashev wasn't recalled prior to Sunday's contest against the Blackhawks due to the upper-body issue, so his summoning could suggest that he's ready to go ahead of Tuesday's game against the Oilers. The 21-year-old Russia native contributed three points (two goals, one assist) in the 12 games prior to the team's bye week, averaging just under 11 minutes of ice time per contest. That rate increased just prior to the hiatus, suggesting he may be carving out a slightly greater role with the big club. He even saw 54 seconds on the team's man advantage, making him a potentially sneaky play in daily lineups if he plays Tuesday.
