EDGE Analysis

Barbashev, who was assigned to AHL Chicago during the Blues' bye week, was never recalled for Sunday's game because of the injury. The injury is not considered serious, but his status for Tuesday's home game against the Oilers is uncertain. Dmitri Jaskin took his spot on the active roster Sunday.
