Impact Barbashev cashed in on a pass from Jack Eichel in the third period for the Golden Knights' fifth goal.

Impact This was Barbashev's first point in three games. The 29-year-old winger missed one contest to attend to a personal matter in that stretch. He's currently occupying a third-line role alongside Brett Howden and Keegan Kolesar, a trio that has a touch of scoring skill to go with plenty of grit. Barbashev is up to 42 points, 89 shots on net, 94 hits and a plus-22 rating over 55 appearances this season.

Returning to action Thursday Barbashev (personal) will be back in the lineup Thursday in Columbus, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Impact Barbashev missed one game. He has 19 goals and 41 points across 53 contests this season, including a huge two-goal, two-assist effort against Chicago on Feb. 27. He should see fourth-line minutes alongside Brett Howden (personal) and Keegan Kolesar on Thursday.

Not available Tuesday Barbashev (undisclosed) won't play Tuesday versus the Penguins, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Impact Barbashev and Brett Howden (undisclosed) are both unavailable for Tuesday's contest. Considering Barbashev saw 17:53 of ice time Sunday versus the Kings, the reason for his absence is not obvious. The 29-year-old winger's next chance to play is Thursday against the Blue Jackets.

Tallies in Friday's win Barbashev scored a goal in Friday's 4-0 win over the Penguins.

Impact Barbashev got on the scoresheet in consecutive games for the first time since late January. The 29-year-old stretched the Golden Knights' lead to 2-0 in the second period. He's up to 19 goals -- matching his total from last year -- and 41 points while adding 85 shots on net, 92 hits and a plus-19 rating across 52 appearances. While he's currently on the third line, he offers some multi-category appeal with hits and plus-minus rating.

Nabs helper in win Barbashev logged an assist and four hits in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

Impact Barbashev has three goals and three assists over five contests since the 4 Nations Face-Off break. The winger set up a Brett Howden tally in the first period of this contest. For the season, Barbashev is up to the 40-point mark for the fourth year in a row, and he's added 84 shots on net, 92 hits and a plus-18 rating through 51 appearances.

Ivan Barbashev Postgame 2/27 | Vegas Golden Knights Ivan Barbashev speaks to the media following a 7-5 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks.

FEBRUARY 28 • NHL.COM

Offense ignites from third line Barbashev scored twice, dished two assists, blocked two shots and went plus-3 in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact The Golden Knights tried new lines Thursday, and Barbashev ended up alongside Brett Howden and Keegan Kolesar. That line set the tone, combining for five points in the first period and nine points in the game. Barbashev came away with his first multi-point effort since Nov. 29 versus the Jets -- which is all the more remarkable since he was on the top line for much of that stretch. He's up to 18 goals, 39 points, 82 shots on net, 86 hits and a plus-18 rating across 49 appearances. Barbashev is on track to surpass the 45 points he put up in each of the last two seasons, but his career high of 60 points from 2021-22 is likely out of reach.

Barbashev's 4-point night helps Golden Knights hold off Blackhawks 7-5

FEBRUARY 28 • Associated Press

Gets back in goal column Barbashev scored a goal on four shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.

Impact The goal was Barbashev's first since Dec. 14. He had been limited to four assists over 15 outings since he returned from an upper-body injury in mid-January. The 29-year-old winger has maintained a top-six role despite the downturn in scoring, but it's possible the 4 Nations Face-Off break allowed him to reset and get back on track. For the season, he has 16 goals, 35 points, 80 shots on net, 85 hits and a plus-15 rating across 47 appearances.
