• Flames' Tyson Barrie: Scores first goal of season

  12D ago • By RotoWire

  Barrie scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins. Barrie has two points while playing in the Flames' last five games. Still, his spot in the lineup is not secure -- Jake Bean and Brayden Pachal are also in contention for third-pairing minutes. Barrie has two points, 11 shots on net, six hits, two blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over seven appearances this season. His lack of stable playing time makes him a risky fantasy option.

• Flames' Tyson Barrie: Pockets power-play helper

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  Barrie notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers. Barrie had a shot attempt tipped in by Anthony Mantha in the second period. This was Barrie's third straight game in the lineup -- he appears to have at least temporarily surpassed Jake Bean on the depth chart. The helper was Barrie's first point to go with seven shots on net, two hits, two blocked shots, two PIM and a minus-1 rating over five appearances. He'll likely see power-play time when he plays, but with a third-pairing role at even strength, the 33-year-old has limited upside across all categories.

• Flames' Tyson Barrie: Inks one-year contract

  10/03/2024 • By RotoWire

  Barrie signed a one-year, $1.25 million contract with Calgary on Thursday, per Salim Nadim Valji of TSN. Barrie was participating in the Flames' training camp on a tryout basis. He was limited to a goal and 15 points in 41 regular-season contests with Nashville in 2023-24, but he's traditionally been an effective presence with the man advantage. If Calgary uses him on its top power-play unit, then a 40-plus point campaign is entirely possible, but the Flames might opt to use MacKenzie Weegar in that role over Barrie. At the end of the day, while Barrie can be an effective offensive force under the right circumstances, it remains to be seen if the 33-year-old will enjoy those opportunities with the Flames.

• Flames' Tyson Barrie: Joining club on tryout

  09/10/2024 • By RotoWire

  Barrie will link up with Calgary for training camp on a professional tryout agreement, the team announced Tuesday. Considering Barrie has reached the 50-point threshold four times in his 13-year NHL career, including the 2022-23 campaign when he played for Edmonton and Nashville, it seems somewhat surprising no team was willing to give him a full contract before the start of the season. No doubt a disappointing 2023-24 season, in which he played in just 41 regular-season contests while generating 15 points, factored into the league-wide hesitancy to give the 33-year-old blueliner a deal. In another Tuesday signing, the Flames added Jarred Tinordi on a two-way contract, so Barrie will have plenty of competition during training camp in securing a roster spot for Opening Night.

• Predators' Tyson Barrie: Enters lineup, earns assist

  05/01/2024 • By RotoWire

  Barrie posted a power-play assist in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Canucks in Game 5. Barrie had been scratched for 13 straight games before entering the lineup Tuesday in place of Luke Schenn (illness). It worked out fine, as Barrie helped out on Roman Josi's game-tying goal in the third period. Barrie had just 15 points in 41 regular-season outings this season, and he'll likely be back in the press box once Schenn is healthy enough to return to the lineup.
