Alex Barre-Boulet - NHL News & Rumors

Rattles off three points Barre-Boulet scored twice and added an assist in AHL Colorado's 6-1 win over Ontario on Saturday.

Impact Barre-Boulet continues to be steady for the Eagles with eight goals and 12 helpers over 24 appearances this season. He's a strong AHL scorer who has struggled to translate that to NHL success, and the Avalanche are healthy enough at forward to not have a need to call him up. The 28-year-old also didn't receive a promotion while the team was dealing with injuries, so he may struggle to get back to the NHL any time soon.

Pots pair for AHL club Barre-Boulet scored two goals in AHL Colorado's 5-2 win over Tucson on Sunday.

Impact Barre-Boulet continues to be among the most consistent AHL scorers, and he's up to six goals and 15 points through 18 outings this season. He's topped the 60-point mark in four of his eight campaigns in the AHL, and he could push for similar production this year. He's yet to show the same level of scoring in the NHL, and at 28 years old, he's unlikely to get a call-up unless the Avalanche face a rough stretch of injuries.

Two goals in AHL win Barre-Boulet scored two goals in AHL Colorado's 2-1 win over Bakersfield on Wednesday.

Impact These were Barre-Boulet's first two tallies of the season. He's added five assists and 26 shots on net over nine outings with the Eagles this year. The 28-year-old has some NHL experience with 70 games over parts of five seasons, but he drew into just two contests for the Canadiens last year. As such, it would likely take numerous injuries to the Avalanche's NHL roster for him to be considered for a call-up.

Put on waivers Barre-Boulet was placed on waivers by Colorado on Saturday, per PuckPedia.

Impact Barre-Boulet had 22 goals, 63 points and 42 PIM in 64 regular-season outings with AHL Laval in 2024-25. He also appeared in two regular-season games with Montreal, recording no points, two PIM and three hits. Barre-Boulet is likely to clear waivers and start the upcoming campaign in the minors.

Pens one-year deal Barre-Boulet signed a one-year, two-way contract with Colorado on Friday.

Impact Barre-Boulet played two games with Montreal at the start of the 2024-25 campaign, picking up three hits and a minor penalty. The 28-year-old was then placed on waivers and spent the rest of the regular season with AHL Laval, where he managed 22 goals and 63 points in 64 appearances. Expect Barre-Boulet to spend most of the 2025-26 campaign in the minors, barring a slew of injuries up front.

Lands on waivers Barre-Boulet was placed on waivers Sunday for the purpose of a loan to AHL Laval.

Impact Barre-Boulet played two games with Montreal, averaging 10:10 of ice time, before serving as a healthy scratch Saturday against the Senators. If he clears waivers, Barre-Boulet figures to remain with AHL Laval as a depth option.

OCTOBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gets one-year deal Barre-Boulet signed a one-year contract with the Canadiens on Monday.

Impact The full financial details of Barre-Boulet's agreement weren't disclosed, but it's a one-way deal, so the 27-year-old will make the same amount regardless of whether he plays in the AHL or NHL. He had six goals and nine points across 36 regular-season outings with Tampa Bay in 2023-24. The Quebec native also provided four goals and 19 points in 23 regular-season appearances with AHL Syracuse. Barre-Boulet might make Montreal's roster out of training camp, but he'll probably be a frequent healthy scratch.

Waived Thursday Barre-Boulet was placed on waivers Thursday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Impact Barre-Boulet has six goals and nine points in 36 outings with Tampa Bay in 2023-24. If he clears waivers, he'll likely be sent to AHL Syracuse.

FEBRUARY 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

More scratches than not Barre-Boulet has dressed in just five of Tampa Bay's 15 games in 2024.

Impact He has just two shots and three hits in those five contests, while skating limited ice time (6:31-11:50). Barre-Boulet is an undersized buzzsaw with offensive talent, but he needs lots of ice in a top-six situation to truly shine. He won't get that in Tampa Bay.

FEBRUARY 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scratched against Florida Barre-Boulet was a healthy scratch Wednesday in a 3-2 loss to Florida.

Impact His ice time had dropped to under eight minutes in the previous two contests, so it's not really a surprise. Barre-Boulet is an offensive-minded forward who is best suited on the wing in the top six, but the Bolts deploy him on line four. He needs opportunity to knock for him to unleash his potential.

DECEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Finds scoresheet in loss Barre-Boulet scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Predators.

Impact Barre-Boulet scored Tampa's lone goal in the first period Thursday, one-timing a feed from Brandon Hagel to give the Lightning an early 1-0 lead. The goal is Barre-Boulet's first point since Nov. 7 -- the 26-year-old forward had been scoreless in his last nine games while serving as a healthy scratch in five contests. While Barre-Boulet can offer some scoring upside in the Lightning's top-six, it's hard to rely on consistent production at this point. He has five goals and eight points through 21 games this season.

DECEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Extends point streak to four games Barre-Boulet provided a goal and an assist in Tampa Bay's 4-3 overtime loss to Seattle on Monday.

Impact Barre-Boulet went from being on waivers Oct. 10 and only getting called back up from the AHL on Oct. 12 because Tyler Motte (upper body) was hurt in the season opener, to becoming one of the Lightning's hottest forwards. The 26-year-old is on a four-game scoring streak, contributing three goals and five points in that span. He served in a top-six role and on the first power-play unit Monday, finishing the contest with 15:24 of ice time. Although he'll have a very tough time maintaining that spot on the Lightning, Barre-Boulet did provide 24 goals and 84 points in 69 outings with AHL Syracuse last year. He's struggled to find his way in the NHL, but he is capable of making an offensive impact under the right circumstances.

OCTOBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in second straight game Barre-Boulet scored a goal Tuesday in a 3-0 win over Carolina.

Impact Barre-Boulet has found the back of the net in two straight games. He pushed the score to 2-0 late in the second period when he played give-and-go with Darren Raddysh. A nice tip and the puck was behind Pyotr Kochetkov. The 26-year-old winger saw only 11:11 of ice time Tuesday, but part of that was on the top line. Barre-Boulet must be in a top-six situation to optimize his skills, so shrinking ice time is a concern.

OCTOBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Skates on top line Barre-Boulet played 16:57 Tuesday in a 3-2 overtime loss to Buffalo. He had one shot and one minor penalty.

Impact He skated on the top line with Brayden Point and Nikita Kucherov, and while he didn't produce points, he also didn't look out of place. It's the kind of offensive opportunity that Barre-Boulet needs to prove he belongs in the NHL and not the AHL. Keep any eye on his progress.

OCTOBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Called up from AHL Barre-Boulet was promoted from the minors Thursday.

Impact Barre-Boulet's call-up comes as Tyler Motte (hand) is sidelined and was designated for injured reserve, per the NHL media site. Last season, the 26-year-old Barre-Boulet was limited to just one appearance for the Bolts in which he generated one shot in 10:01 of ice time.

OCTOBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Goes on waivers Barre-Boulet was placed on waivers Tuesday, according to Chris Johnston of TSN.

Impact Barre-Boulet amassed 24 goals and 84 points in 69 games with AHL Syracuse last season. The 26-year-old forward has six goals and nine points in 32 career NHL appearances. If he goes unclaimed, Barre-Boulet will probably be back with Tampa Bay's top minor-league affiliate to begin the 2023-24 campaign.

OCTOBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Strong chance to earn NHL job Barre-Boulet is skating on the third line in training camp alongside Nick Paul and Tanner Jeannot.

Impact ABB had a great year in the AHL in 2022-23, finishing second overall among scorers in both assists and points (69 games; 24 goals, 60 assists for 84 points). "He has proven all he can prove in the American League," said head coach Jon Cooper. "There are spots on this team open, more than there probably have been in the last five years." Barre-Boulet skates well and can score, so he needs to play to that strength to earn a gig out of camp. So far, so good.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Reassigned to AHL Barre-Boulet was dropped to AHL Syracuse on Friday, per CapFriendly.

Impact Barre-Boulet appeared in just one NHL game this season. He likely won't see any action during the postseason.

APRIL 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Receives call-up Barre-Boulet was called up from AHL Syracuse on Thursday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Barre-Boulet was called up as injury insurance since the Lightning are missing Mikey Eyssimont (undisclosed). Barring additional injuries to the forward group, Barre-Boulet is unlikely to join the lineup in the postseason.
