Barbashev logged an assist in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
This was Barbashev's first point in three games. The 29-year-old winger missed one contest to attend to a personal matter in that stretch. He's currently occupying a third-line role alongside Brett Howden and Keegan Kolesar, a trio that has a touch of scoring skill to go with plenty of grit. Barbashev is up to 42 points, 89 shots on net, 94 hits and a plus-22 rating over 55 appearances this season.

Barbashev (personal) will be back in the lineup Thursday in Columbus, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barbashev missed one game. He has 19 goals and 41 points across 53 contests this season, including a huge two-goal, two-assist effort against Chicago on Feb. 27. He should see fourth-line minutes alongside Brett Howden (personal) and Keegan Kolesar on Thursday.

Barbashev (personal) won't play Tuesday versus the Penguins, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barbashev and Brett Howden (personal) are both unavailable for Tuesday's contest. It's not clear when Barbashev may be able to return from his time away from the team. The 29-year-old winger's next chance to play is Thursday against the Blue Jackets.

Barbashev scored a goal in Friday's 4-0 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Barbashev got on the scoresheet in consecutive games for the first time since late January. The 29-year-old stretched the Golden Knights' lead to 2-0 in the second period. He's up to 19 goals -- matching his total from last year -- and 41 points while adding 85 shots on net, 92 hits and a plus-19 rating across 52 appearances. While he's currently on the third line, he offers some multi-category appeal with hits and plus-minus rating.

Barbashev logged an assist and four hits in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Barbashev has three goals and three assists over five contests since the 4 Nations Face-Off break. The winger set up a Brett Howden tally in the first period of this contest. For the season, Barbashev is up to the 40-point mark for the fourth year in a row, and he's added 84 shots on net, 92 hits and a plus-18 rating through 51 appearances.

Barbashev scored twice, dished two assists, blocked two shots and went plus-3 in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
The Golden Knights tried new lines Thursday, and Barbashev ended up alongside Brett Howden and Keegan Kolesar. That line set the tone, combining for five points in the first period and nine points in the game. Barbashev came away with his first multi-point effort since Nov. 29 versus the Jets -- which is all the more remarkable since he was on the top line for much of that stretch. He's up to 18 goals, 39 points, 82 shots on net, 86 hits and a plus-18 rating across 49 appearances. Barbashev is on track to surpass the 45 points he put up in each of the last two seasons, but his career high of 60 points from 2021-22 is likely out of reach.

Barbashev scored a goal on four shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
The goal was Barbashev's first since Dec. 14. He had been limited to four assists over 15 outings since he returned from an upper-body injury in mid-January. The 29-year-old winger has maintained a top-six role despite the downturn in scoring, but it's possible the 4 Nations Face-Off break allowed him to reset and get back on track. For the season, he has 16 goals, 35 points, 80 shots on net, 85 hits and a plus-15 rating across 47 appearances.

Barbashev logged an assist, four shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Barbashev has been limited to four helpers over 14 games since he returned from an upper-body injury, and they've all been earned in the last eight contests. That stretch has taken a bite out of his offense, though he still has 34 points across 45 appearances. The winger has added 74 shots on net, a plus-15 rating and 83 hits while frequently seeing top-line minutes.

Barbashev notched an assist and four hits in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Barbashev has a helper in three of his last four games. He appears to be feeling comfortable again after a six-game slump following his return from an upper-body injury. The 29-year-old winger is up to 33 points, 64 shots on net, 81 hits and a plus-13 rating over 41 appearances. He'll continue to have appeal in fantasy as a physical winger in a top-line role.

Barbashev logged an assist and three hits in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Barbashev has two helpers over his last three games after going six contests without a point following his return from an upper-body injury. The 29-year-old set up a Jack Eichel tally in the third period. Barbashev now has 15 goals, 17 assists, 64 shots on net, 77 hits and a plus-13 rating over 40 appearances. Despite his sluggish offense in January, the winger remains in a top-line role and should be a decent source of points and hits.
