Barbashev (upper body) posted a shot on goal and a hit in 14:04 during Saturday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Barbashev missed two games with the injury, but he returned to a fourth-line role and saw a large share of ice time. The Russian has 15 points, 72 hits and 40 shots in 35 appearances this season, which could make him of interest to fantasy owners in formats that reward physical play.

According to coach Craig Berube, there's a "good chance" that Barbashev (upper body) will return to the lineup Saturday against San Jose, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

All signs currently point to Barbashev rejoining the lineup against the Sharks, but the Blues will undoubtedly update his status if that changes prior to puck drop. The 24-year-old has picked up five goals and 15 points in 34 games this campaign, making him a decent plug-and-play option in deeper fantasy leagues.

Barbashev (upper body) won't play in Wednesday's home game against the Oilers, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barbashev will miss his second straight game due to the injury he sustained in Saturday's win over the Blackhawks.

Zach Sanford is expected to re-enter the lineup in Barbashev's place.

EDGE Analysis

One of Barbashev's three helpers on the night came while the Blues were killing a penalty. Now with 10 points in 26 games, Barbashev remains a risky play in most formats, especially considering Wednesday's performance marked the first time the winger had found the scoresheet since Nov. 12.

EDGE Analysis

Barbashev's tally was more for confirmation of the result than anything else. The Russian forward is up to five points and 39 hits through 17 games after potting his first goal of the year. He's not going to interest owners in standard fantasy leagues, but Barbashev may be worth a look in deeper formats due to his physicality.
