Barbashev will get a chance to prove himself once against against the Islanders on Saturday, Tom Timmermann of St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Over Barbashev's past five games, he has only clocked 11:16 of ice time per game. His defensive contributions are what gives him another opportunity Saturday, but until he can prove himself offensively he will have difficulty securing a spot on the daily roster. Barbashev's past seven games have yielded one goal and one assist, yet that goal was his only shot on net over this stretch. Don't waste a fantasy spot on Barbashev just yet, but he does show long-term potential.
