Barrie was listed as a game-time decision on Saturday, but was held out of the lineup and will miss his third consecutive game with a lower-body injury. Monitor Barrie’s status prior to Wednesday’s game vs. the Canucks.

Barrie was a late scratch prior to Thursday’s game in Anaheim and was listed as day-to-day, but they’ve now upgraded him to game-time decision. Barrie’s status likely won’t be known until pregame warmups at 10:00 pm ET.

Coming off of a career-high 53 points in 2014-15, Barrie approached 50 points again in 2015-16, registering 49 points (13G / 36A) in 78 games. His 49 points were good for 11th among defensemen. Barrie will be among the top-15 fantasy defensemen again in 2016-17.

Barrie missed the last three games because of a suspension, but he will be back in the lineup tonight in Florida. Barrie had two assists in four games before his suspension and should be reinserted into your fantasy lineup tonight.

The NHL suspended Barrie for charging and interference on Despres, who was injured on the play. Barrie is a first time offender so it was surprising to see him get three games. With Barrie out, look for Brad Stuart to get back into the lineup on Sunday.

Barrie will miss his second straight game with a hip flexor ailment. With Barrie out, Stefan Elliott will remain in the lineup after a strong game vs. the Red Wings on Thursday. Barrie is day-to-day.

Barrie will not play tonight vs. the Red Wings, but coach Patrick Roy said he expects to have Barrie back for Saturday’s game in Minnesota. With Barrie out, Stefan Elliott will slide into the lineup and replace Barrie in all situations, including the top-pair and power-play.

In an ugly knee-on-knee play by Matt Cooke - likely resulting in suspension - Barrie's season was ended after suffering an MCL injury.

Barrie suffered an upper-body injury on Friday vs. the Sharks was held out on Sunday vs. the Ducks mainly as a precaution and should be good to go on Thursday.

Barrie played just 7:07 before heading to the dressing room for the night. The Avalanche have recalled Stefan Elliott this afternoon, which suggests that Barrie's injury may be serious.

Barrie played 19:03 with one assist, two shots and a plus-1 rating in Wednesday's game. With the injury to John Mitchell it allowed Patrick Roy to move his offensive defenseman up to the third line. Barrie has two goals and six assists in his last 12 games.

Barrie was recalled because Ryan Wilson (back) was placed on injured reserve, retroactive to November 6. Barrie had three points (all assists) in five games with Lake Erie after being sent down earlier this month.

Patrick Roy was not impressed with Barrie's start to the season and had him as a healthy scratch for eight of the Avs' last nine games. He will head to Lake Erie (AHL) where he will likely see a ton of ice-time which will help him develop a lot better than sitting on a nightly basis.

Ryan Wilson is out indefinitely, after he re-injured an ankle against Vancouver. Barrie was recalled to take Wilson's roster spot.

The rookie has played well this season so it is surprising to see him get scratched. Barrie has one goal and five assists in 15 games this season. He was also averaging 21:06 minutes a night.

The rookie Barrie draws back into the lineup. He has no points in seven games.
