Barbashev notched two assists, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Barbashev sometimes goes unheralded in fantasy, but keep an eye on him while he's seeing his even-strength minutes alongside Jack Eichel and Mark Stone. He assisted on each of his linemates' goals in this contest. Barbashev had a career-best 61 points with 137 hits, 133 shots on net and a plus-20 rating over 82 regular-season appearances in 2025-26. His combination of offense and physical play can be a difference maker as a depth option in fantasy, especially if he can fend off Trevor Connelly and Braeden Bowman for top-line duties.
