Barbashev scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-3 win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Barbashev set up a Jack Eichel goal and then scored one of his own in the first period, giving Vegas a 2-1 lead at the intermission. With three goals, three helpers, five shots on net, three hits and a plus-5 rating over two contests, Barbashev is in peak form to begin 2024-25. His chemistry with Eichel has been apparent ever since Barbashev was traded to Vegas, and that makes the Russian winger a reliable option for fantasy managers looking for points and hits.
