The 27-year-old has been in a bottom-six role for much of the first round following the return of Mark Stone to the Vegas lineup.

Barbashev notched an assist and five hits in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Jets in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
Barbashev set up William Karlsson's second-period tally. After closing out the regular season primarily in a third-line role, Barbashev was back on the first line to start Game 1, though he logged just 16:21 of ice time. He had 16 points in 23 contests with the Golden Knights after he was traded from the Blues, but the whole team will need to improve on offense after a dismal showing Tuesday.

Barbashev logged a shorthanded assist, two shots on goal, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Barbashev posted eight points over the last 11 games of the campaign. The 27-year-old forward has seen some time on the third line lately, but his strong defensive play should keep him in heavy rotation during the playoffs. Barbashev finished the regular season with 16 goals, 29 helpers, 126 shots on net, 182 hits, 42 PIM and a plus-1 rating in 82 appearances between the Blues and the Golden Knights.

Barbashev scored a goal, dished an assist, went plus-3 and added two PIM in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
The Golden Knights shuffled their lines, with Barbashev joining Chandler Stephenson and Phil Kessel on the third line. The impact was immediate for the newly formed trio, as they combined for three goals in the first 6:07 of the game. Barbashev snapped a two-game skid, and he's up to 15 points through 20 outings for Vegas. For the season, he has 16 goals, 44 points, 121 shots on net, 175 hits, 42 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 79 appearances.

EDGE Analysis
Barbashev's point streak is up to five games (one goal, four assists). He set up Brett Howden's second-period tally, which gave the Golden Knights a 3-1 lead. Overall, Barbashev has 42 points, 120 shots on net, 172 hits, 36 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 76 contests between St. Louis and Vegas. He's looked much more effective on the latter's top line than he did in a middle-six role with the former.

Barbashev posted an assist in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Barbashev ended a three-game point drought with his helper Thursday. The 27-year-old has seen top-line usage with the Golden Knights -- it's been a good fit, but the role is likely to be larger than his production. For the season, he's at 38 points, 115 shots on net, 162 hits, 40 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating in 72 contests between the Golden Knights and the Blues.

Barbashev scored two goals in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Barbashev gave the Golden Knights a 2-0 lead early in the second period, deflecting a shot from the point past Felix Sandstrom before adding an empty-net goal in the third to close out a 5-3 victory. Barbashev has fit in nicely with Vegas, tallying four goals and four assists in eight games since he was acquired from St. Louis at the trade deadline. Overall, he's up to 37 points (14 goals, 23 assists) through 68 games this season. Barbashev should continue to provide fantasy value while skating on the Knights' top line with Jack Eichel and Jonathan Marchessault.
