Barbashev will have a hearing with the Department of Player Safety for an illegal check to the head on Marcus Johansson.

EDGE Analysis

The fact that Johansson doesn't appear to have suffered an injury on the play could help Barbashev avoid a suspension, though the hit also went uncalled in the game. If the winger does get suspended for Game 6 versus Boston on Sunday, it will likely open the door for Robby Fabbri to return to the lineup.

Barbashev scored his third goal of the playoffs in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Bruins in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

EDGE Analysis

The center added three shots on goal, three hits and two PIM in the contest. Barbashev has six points in 22 postseason games, along with 65 hits.

Barbashev scored an empty-net goal and added three hits in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Sharks in Game 6.

EDGE Analysis

Barbashev had two goals and a helper over the final four games of the series, adding 10 hits and eight shots in that span. The Blues have emerged as a team comfortable with all four of their forward lines, and Barbashev's recent contributions are a big part of that. He has skated at least 12:30 in each of the last five games as well, making him a viable depth option in the Stanley Cup Finals.

Barbashev won't face supplementary discipline from the league for his hit on Tomas Hertl in Game 5 on Sunday, Greg Wyshynski of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

As Greg Wyshynski stated, the league was unable to determine conclusively that the head was the main point of contact, which means Barbashev will be available for Tuesday's Game 6 clash. Through the first five contests of the series, the winger notched one goal, one assist and eight shots while averaging 13:09 of ice time. While he is unlikely to put up significant production due to his bottom-six role, the Russian might be a solid depth option for fantasy owners heading into Tuesday's tilt.

Barbashev scored a goal and added two PIM in Friday's 2-1 win over the Sharks in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

Barbashev pounced on a misplayed puck from Sharks defenseman Brent Burns just 35 seconds into the game, quickly slotting home the loose puck. Barbashev now has points in consecutive games, and has added 10 hits and five shots on goal in four games in the series.

Barbashev collected an assist and three hits in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Sharks in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals.

EDGE Analysis

Barbashev has managed three helpers in 16 games, adding 46 hits and 10 shots on goal. He entered Wednesday's contest averaging only 10:47 per game, with his fourth-line usage making his contributions to the offense few and far between.

Barbashev produced an assist and two hits in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Stars in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

He did not register a point in six games versus the Jets in the first round. Barbashev does have 22 hits in the playoffs so far, but 10 of those game in Game 3 against the Jets. The Russian center is limited by his fourth-line deployment, even though he had a career-high 26 points in 80 regular-season contests.

Barbashev scored a goal and added an assist in Thursday's win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Barbashev opened the scoring early in the first period by batting a rebound out of the air and into the net. He later notched a primary assist on Alexander Steen's insurance score in the third frame to mark his fourth multi-point game of the season. Barbashev now has 26 points through 79 games, doubling last year's 13-point mark.

Barbashev delivered a hat trick in a 5-2 win over Detroit on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

It was his first NHL hat trick and it came in front of his parents and brother, who are visiting from Russia. Barbashev has been struggling to put up points -- the goals snapped a six-game slump and he only has four points in 19 games dating back to Feb. 12. Nice night for the young man, but Barbashev isn't a fantasy play right now.

Barbashev scored a goal in Thursday's win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Barbashev was pointless in 11 straight games since his three-point performance against the Devils on Feb. 12. He broke the trend with a snipe off a pass from Samuel Blais to provide the Blues insurance in the third frame. Barbashev continues to dwell on the fourth line so his offensive contributions are few and far between, but he has a 20.9 shooting percentage this season, which actually appears sustainable for his limited role since he has a 19.4 percentage in his career.
