While the 27-year-old center hasn't been scoring goals, he has just one goal on 23 shots in the playoffs, he continues to rack up helpers with seven total. The fact that Barkov is averaging nearly three shots per game should see him find the back of the net sooner rather than later but should provide plenty of fantasy value regardless.
