EDGE Analysis

Barbashev has 15 goals and 30 points in 31 appearances in 2024-25. Tanner Laczynski, who was called up from AHL Henderson on Thursday, is projected to make his NHL season debut. Barbashev's injury might also lead to Alexander Holtz getting some power-play ice time after logging a total of just two seconds with the man advantage over his past six outings.
