Barbashev signed a two-year, $4.5 million extension with the Blues on Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barbashev's high-energy style is more useful on the ice than in the fantasy realm, though the 25-year-old Russian occasionally gets elevated into a top-six role to balance out the Blues' lines. He's getting a nice raise after just finishing out a two-year, $2.95 million contract.

Barbashev notched an assist in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Avalanche in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

Barbashev set up Jordan Kyrou for the Blues' only goal in the second period. The 25-year-old Barbashev had 12 points and 49 hits in 38 regular-season contests, mostly in a fourth-line role. He started Game 1 on the second line with Tyler Bozak and Vladimir Tarasenko.

Barbashev scored a goal on two shots, doled out two hits and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Barbashev led all Blues forward with 16:48 of ice time in Wednesday's dominant win. The 25-year-old has jumped into a top-line role recently with Vladimir Tarasenko (lower body) out. Through 37 contests, Barbashev has notched 11 points, a plus-4 rating, 42 shots on net and 48 hits. His grittier playing style is best deployed in a bottom-six capacity.

Barbashev (lower body) will play Monday in Los Angeles, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The lower-body injury Barbashev picked up Saturday evidently wasn't too serious, as it won't force him to miss any additional time. He'll have some DFS appeal Monday, as Barbashev is slated to skate on the top line alongside Ryan O'Reilly and David Perron.

Barbashev suffered an apparent lower-body injury near the end of Saturday's game versus the Golden Knights, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barbashev was seen struggling to get off the ice near the end of the game. Head coach Craig Berube didn't have an update on the Russian forward's status after the contest -- the earliest an assessment on Barbashev's injury could arrive is Sunday. The Blues are back in action versus the Kings on Monday.

Barbashev netted a power-play goal and three hits in Friday's 9-1 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Barbashev doesn't usually see power-play time, but his goal was the last in a game the Blues dominated wire-to-wire. It's his first point with the man advantage in his five-year career. The Russian forward has eight points, 28 shots on net, 29 hits and a plus-4 rating through 22 games.

Barbashev recorded an assist and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Barbashev picked up his first point in four games since he returned from an ankle injury that cost him 18 contests. The Russian forward has generates seven points, 27 shots on net, 26 hits and a plus-5 rating through 21 appearances this year. He's locked in to a bottom-six role, so Barbashev isn't likely to carry much fantasy appeal.

Barbashev (ankle) saw 10:10 of ice time and added a blocked shot in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Barbashev resumed his fourth-line role after an 18-game absence to recovery from surgery on his injured left ankle. He has six points, 20 hits and a plus-5 rating through 18 contests. The Russian forward probably won't score enough to earn interest in fantasy.

Barbashev (ankle) could be ready to return Friday against the Avalanche, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis
