Barbashev logged an assist, three shots on goal, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

The helper was Barbashev's first point in seven games since he returned from missing 10 contests due to an upper-body injury. He's been on the top line since his return but hasn't been able to recapture his chemistry with Jack Eichel and Mark Stone yet. Despite the recent slump, Barbashev still has 15 goals, 31 points, 63 shots on net, 73 hits and a plus-11 rating over 38 appearances this season.

Barbashev missed 10 straight games from Dec. 19-Jan. 9 because of the injury, but he should return to the lineup Saturday versus the Rangers. He has 15 goals and 30 points in 31 outings in 2024-25. Victor Olofsson and Tanner Pearson both saw time on the first line during Barbashev's absence, but now that he's back, the 29-year-old Barbashev is likely to play alongside Jack Eichel and Mark Stone.
