EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old winger helped set up Shea Theodore for the game's opening tally early in the first period, and Barbashev then played hero late in the first OT period, pouncing on a loose puck in front of Filip Gustavsson and banging it home. The points were the first of the playoffs for Barbashev, who wrapped up the regular season with 23 goals and 51 points in 70 appearances.

Barbashev (rest) won't be in the lineup Wednesday versus the Canucks, Ryan Wallis of Fox Sports Las Vegas reports.

Barbashev notched an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Barbashev's usual linemates, Jack Eichel (upper body) and Mark Stone (rest) weren't in action Tuesday. Barbashev instead worked on a checking line with Nicolas Roy and Keegan Kolesar, and the trio contributed the Golden Knights' second goal. Versatility is a good thing and should help Barbashev contribute from anywhere in the lineup during the playoffs. He has three goals and an assist over his last five outings, giving him 51 points, a plus-26 rating, 111 shots on net and 104 hits through 70 contests this season.

Barbashev recorded an assist and three shots on goal in Friday's 5-3 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Barbashev has a goal and four assists over his last seven outings. He continues to be steadiest on offense when in a top-line role, which is where's been for the last five games. The winger is up to 20 goals, 26 helpers, 99 shots on net, 99 hits and a plus-24 rating over 61 appearances. This is the first time in three years he's passed the 45-point mark, though his 60-point high mark from 2021-22 is just a bit out of reach barring a massive surge on offense.

Barbashev logged two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Barbashev earned his first multi-point effort of the month, helping out on goals by Nicolas Roy and Jack Eichel. The 29-year-old Barbashev has still been productive with six points over nine appearances in March. He's back on the top line after some time in the middle six, and that's only helped him find more consistency. For the season, he's produced 20 goals, 25 helpers, 94 shots on net, 98 hits and a plus-23 rating over 58 contests, matching his 45-point total from all 82 games in both 2022-23 and 2023-24.

Barbashev scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Barbashev cashed in on a pass from Jack Eichel in the third period for the Golden Knights' fifth goal. Those two forwards were reunited on the top line for this contest, and that's good news for Barbashev's rest-of-season potential, as his best play has come on the top line. Overall, he's at 20 goals for his the second time in his nine-year career, and he's added 23 helpers, 92 shots on net, 98 hits and a plus-20 rating across 57 appearances.
