Barbashev netted a goal in Saturday's 6-3 loss to Edmonton.
EDGE Analysis
Barbashev found the back of the net for the second game in a row, and the 29-year-old Russian winger continues to remain an extremely productive presence in the Golden Knights' attack. He's up to seven goals and 11 points over his last 10 games, and that productive stretch has been fueled by his efficiency, as Barbashev has netted those seven goals with only 16 shots over that 10-game stretch. He's up to 15 goals and 15 assists in 30 games.

Barbashev scored a goal on one shot and added two assists in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Canadiens. He also contributed a block.
EDGE Analysis
Barbashev entered the game in a scoring funk with just one goal over his previous 12 appearances, but he finished a textbook give-and-go for what turned out to be game-winning tally. Although he'd been snake-bitten, Barbashev did contribute seven assists during his scoring slump, including a pair of helpers in the Golden Knights' previous game. He's up to nine goals and 13 assists through 21 outings.

Barbashev notched two assists in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
He snapped a four-game point drought early in the first period by setting up Jack Eichel for the opening tally, after Linus Ullmark had denied Barbashev's initial attempt. The 28-year-old winger then dropped the puck to Brett Howden on the rush in the second period to give Vegas a 2-0 lead. Barbashev has been streaky to begin the season, but the hot stretches have lasted longer than the cold ones and he's amassed an impressive eight goals and 19 points in 20 contests, putting him on pace to shatter his previous career highs of 26 goals and 60 points -- both set in 2021-22 with the Blues.

Barbashev scored a power-play goal in Monday's 5-2 loss to Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
Barbashev cracked the scoresheet for the third game in a row, but this was the first time he scored a goal since his two-goal effort in a 6-4 win over the Senators back on Oct. 25. Even though Barbashev has only one power-play point this season, he's found a way to be a consistent threat on offense for the Golden Knights. He's up to 17 points with a balanced output (eight goals, nine assists) in 15 contests in 2024-25.
