ImpactAfter being held scoreless in his last three games, Barkov came alive, getting his first multi-point night since Jan. 6. With the Panthers on the power play in the first period, Barkov shot it at Alexandar Georgiev and Carter Verhaeghe pounced on the rebound and backhanded it into the net. Barkov followed that up with a secondary assist on Sam Reinhart's power-play goal. Halfway through the third period with the Avalanche frantically trying to mount a comeback, Barkov ended all hope when he stole the puck from an Avalanche defender, waited Georgiev out and fired the puck into the back of the net. He added three shots on net and a plus-1 rating in 16:41 TOI.

This was the fourth straight win for the 35-year-old netminder, who has allowed only six goals on 128 shots during that span. The shutout was the 41st of Bobrovsky's career.

Sam Malinski - Sent back downMalinski was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Saturday.
ImpactMalinski was scratched for Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Panthers. It was his third scratch in four games since the All-Star break, so it's no surprise he's going down to the Eagles to get some playing time. Malinski has emerged as the top call-up option when the Avalanche need reinforcements.
