Ivan Barbashev Signs Five-Year Extension With Vegas
Vegas Golden Knights forward Ivan Barbashev has signed a five-year extension with the team just a few days before being eligible to hit unrestricted free agency. The deal will be worth $5 million annually. Getting a signature from Barbashev was one of the priorities for the Golden Knights this summer after the 27-year-old played a big role in the team's Stanley Cup triumph. The Russian forward tallied seven goals and 18 points in 22 games during the championship run. After coming over from St. Louis in February, Barbashev found himself a comfortable spot in Vegas next to Jack Eichel on the top line and went on to grab 16 points in 23 regular-season appearances. He now looks set to be a vital part of the Golden Knights' top six for the foreseeable future.
Ivan Barbashev Collects Three Points In Game 3 Victory
Vegas Golden Knights center Ivan Barbashev finished with a goal and two assists in Tuesday's 4-0 victory against the Stars in Game 3 of the Western Conference Final. Barbashev picked up an assist on forward Jonathan Marchessault's opening goal of the game, while his goal doubled the Golden Knights lead on a three-on-two rush in the offensive zone on a power play. The 27-year-old collected his third point of the contest on defenseman Alex Pietrangelo's goal in the second period to give the team a four-goal advantage. Barbashev brings his playoff total to five goals and 13 points through 14 games, which puts him in a tie for third on the team in points.
Ivan Barbashev Delivers Two Assists In Decisive Game 6
Vegas Golden Knights forward Ivan Barbashev played a big part in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Oilers with two assists. Both of his helpers came in the second period when Jonathan Marchessault had a hat trick to turn a 2-1 deficit into a 4-2 lead. Barbashev disappeared in the second-round series for a couple of games, but he had a strong finish with three points and a plus-four rating across the last two games, and he should continue to play a significant role for Vegas in the Western Conference Finals. The Russian forward is up to four goals and five assists in 11 games this postseason.
Vegas Golden Knights forward Ivan Barbashev kept up his good goal-scoring form in Saturday's Game 2 against Edmonton, notching the team's only tally in a heavy 5-1 defeat. The Oilers jumped to a five-goal lead before Barbashev scored a consolation goal for the Golden Knights early in the third period. He opened the series with a two-goal effort and has now scored all four of his postseason goals this year in the past four games. Barbashev has six recorded points in total for the postseason with 14 shots on goal and 23 hits.
Vegas Golden Knights forward Ivan Barbashev was responsible for two goals in Wednesday's 6-4 victory over Edmonton in Game 1 of the second-round series. Barbashev needed just three shots on goal to light the lamp twice, tying things up at one early in the game and giving Vegas a 4-3 lead at the start of the third period. The Russian forward completed his line with two blocks and four hits. Barbashev has been a very good pickup by the Golden Knights, and he now has three goals and two assists in six playoff games.
Vegas Golden Knights forward Ivan Barbashev has had no trouble adjusting to his new surroundings, logging three points in his first three games at the club. All of Barbashev's points have come via assists, as he had found good chemistry on the first line with Jack Eichel and Jonathan Marchessault. The 27-year-old is also logging time on the second power-play unit, and he looks like a good option for fantasy managers for the final stretch of the season. Sunday's matchup against Montreal gives Barbashev a great chance to match his longest point streak of the season with a three-game run.
The Vegas Golden Knights added forward Ivan Barbashev to the roster via a trade on Sunday, picking the 27-year-old up from the St. Louis Blues for prospect Zach Dean, who was the team's first-round draft pick in 2021. The Golden Knights were desperate to add some offensive talent to the mix after Mark Stone (back) got sidelined, and in Barbashev, they get a versatile forward who can play throughout the lineup. Barbashev featured 59 times for the Blues this season, recording 10 goals and 19 assists. He was a second-round selection for the Blues back in 2014, and Barbashev had 78 goals and 178 points in 410 games overall with the team.
St. Louis Blues forward Ivan Barbashev will replace Brandon Saad (upper body) on the first line Thursday against New Jersey. Saad was injured Tuesday against Florida and is set to miss multiple games after the team added him to Injured Reserve Thursday. Barbashev had an outstanding game Tuesday with three points in a 6-2 win and getting a bigger role gives him an opportunity to impress further. He has amassed 10 goals and 27 points with 86 shots in 53 games over the course of the season. Saad's injury has also given Jake Neighbours a chance to re-enter the lineup. He will skate on the third line and the second power-play unit.
St. Louis Blues forward Ivan Barbashev registered a game-high three points in Tuesday's 6-2 victory over Florida. He had two assists and completed the scoring with an empty-net goal. The 27-year-old has now recorded four goals and three assists in the past seven games. The improvement in form has pushed Barbashev to 10 goals and 17 assists for the whole season. His numbers could soon get another nice boost as well, as Brandon Saad (upper body) was injured on Tuesday and Barbashev is the main candidate to join the first line if Saad is forced to stay on the sidelines.
Ivan Barbashev Joins The Party With Two Goals Saturday
St. Louis Blues center Ivan Barbashev was flanked by Pavel Buchnevich and Vladimir Tarasenko on Saturday. They created havoc as even Ivan Barbashev scored twice in just over 17 minutes of ice time. He managed three shots on net and a blocked shot. Mind you, all the damage was done at even strength. The St. Louis line was one of the top producing trios on Saturday with eight points combined. Barbashev now has seven goals and 13 points in 21 games. The question now is does Craig Berube keep this trio together even when David Perron returns.
