Barbashev recorded three assists and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Barbashev's offense looked to be fading after he was held off the scoresheet in three straight games prior to Wednesday. He helped out on goals by Jack Eichel, Noah Hanifin and Mark Stone in this contest to get back to productivity. For the season, Barbashev is up to seven goals, eight helpers, 24 shots on net, 25 hits and a plus-8 rating through 13 outings in a top-line role.

Barbashev posted an assist, three shots on goal, four hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Barbashev is thriving as the third wheel on the top line with Jack Eichel and Mark Stone, who are both top-five in the league for points. The 28-year-old Barbashev hasn't reached those same heights, but he has four points over his last three contests, putting him at seven goals, five assists, 19 shots on net, 19 hits and a plus-7 rating through nine outings overall. He serves as a power winger, and when he's scoring at this rate, he's a must-have forward for fantasy.

Barbashev scored two goals, including an empty-netter, in Friday's 6-4 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Barbashev tied the game at 3-3 in the early stages of the second period with a tip-in from close range. He sealed Vegas' comeback win with an empty-netter late in the third frame. The 28-year-old Russian winger has been on a tear this season, racking up seven goals and 11 points across eight appearances.

Barbashev scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Barbashev saw a season-low 12:34 of ice time in this blowout win, but he was able to tally the Golden Knights' last goal. He's been effective in a top-line role, though his hot start quickly cooled off. The winger is up to five goals, four assists, 14 shots on net, nine hits and a plus-5 rating over seven contests. Should head coach Bruce Cassidy make dramatic changes to his lines, Barbashev would be a candidate to slip into the middle six.

Barbashev scored a goal and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Barbashev is up to four goals and four assists through five appearances. His tally in the second period gave Vegas a 3-2 lead, but they weren't able to bring it to the finish line. Barbashev has added five hits, 10 shots on net and a plus-6 rating this season while playing alongside Jack Eichel and Mark Stone on one of the hottest lines in the league.

Barbashev scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-3 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Barbashev set up a Jack Eichel goal and then scored one of his own in the first period, giving Vegas a 2-1 lead at the intermission. With three goals, three helpers, five shots on net, three hits and a plus-5 rating over two contests, Barbashev is in peak form to begin 2024-25. His chemistry with Eichel has been apparent ever since Barbashev was traded to Vegas, and that makes the Russian winger a reliable option for fantasy managers looking for points and hits.

Barbashev scored twice and added two helpers in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Barbashev churned out a great performance Wednesday -- in addition to notching four points, the left-shot forward added two shots, one block, two hits and a plus-3 rating in 16:26 of ice time. The 28-year-old should have plenty of opportunities to provide offense this season so long as he's running alongside star center Jack Eichel. Barbashev could surpass last year's effort of 45 points given how productive he was in the first game of the regular season.

Barbashev registered an assist and eight hits in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Stars in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
Barbashev has an assist in three of the Golden Knights' four playoff games so far. He's added 25 hits and a plus-2 rating, offering a heavy physical game in addition to his solid offense. Barbashev continues to play alongside Jack Eichel and Jonathan Marchessault in a top-six role.

Barbashev notched an assist and three hits in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Stars in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
Barbashev helped out on Jonathan Marchessault's game-tying goal in the first period. Barbashev has earned a helper in each of the first two playoff contests while continuing his role on the top line. The 28-year-old isn't the most gifted natural scorer, but he's in a good situation and should provide depth offense with plenty of hits in the postseason.

Barbashev notched an assist and seven hits in Monday's 4-3 win over the Stars in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
Barbashev was limited to one goal over the final seven games of the regular season. The 28-year-old winger continues to play on the top line, but as a more physical forward, his offense is likely to be streaky in that role. He had 45 points, 122 shots on net, 179 hits, 42 PIM and a plus-15 rating in 82 regular-season outings.
