Barbashev scored a goal on his only shot of the game in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Barbashev's third-period goal, his first in eight games, gave the listless Blues some late life, but they were unable to gain a point. The rookie center has been filling in for the injured Jori Lehtera (upper body) and may continue to do so through the remainder of the road trip that runs until next Tuesday. Lehtera did not travel with the Blues, but could join them if he shakes his injury.
