Ivan Barbashev’s Performance
As the NHL season unfolds, Ivan Barbashev is showcasing impressive performance levels with the Vegas Golden Knights, anticipating a total of 58 points this year—a personal best since joining the franchise. When the Flyers face the Golden Knights on January 19, predictions indicate that Barbashev will continue to thrive, particularly on his home turf.
Predictions for Flyers vs. Golden Knights
Looking closely at Barbashev’s prospects, the odds favor him to record over half a point in tonight’s matchup (+115). His track record at home reveals that he scores in approximately 63% of his games when playing in front of local fans, a stark contrast to his 39% success rate on away games. Furthermore, after a day off, Barbashev has consistently found the back of the scoresheet in 10 out of 15 instances at the T-Mobile Arena, accumulating a total of 16 points in those outings.
Barbashev is currently aligned with star players Jack Eichel and Mark Stone on the first line, providing him with favorable conditions to enhance his output. Eichel stands as the leading point scorer for the Golden Knights, while Stone is delivering the best numbers of his career with an average exceeding 1.5 points per game. This trio has been instrumental in driving an exceptional scoring rate, which nearly hits five goals per 60 minutes during 5-on-5 play—a figure that rivals the offensive exploits of well-known talents like Nathan MacKinnon and Martin Necas (5.25 per 60).
Compounding the Golden Knights’ offensive strength, the Philadelphia Flyers are grappling with challenges in their goaltending department. Starter Dan Vladar is recovering from injury issues, and the team has struggled to stop shots in his absence. Even if he makes a comeback, his statistic of conceding 2.82 goals per game against top-tier scoring teams underscores the vulnerability of the Flyers’ defense, with his record revealing only three wins from 11 games played this season.
Same-Game Parlay Insights
Barbashev, alongside Stone and Eichel, has participated in 10 games this season with Stone, consistently achieving multiple shots on goal—averaging about 2.9 in those appearances. Additionally, Owen Tippett is gaining momentum, as he’s registered three or more shots in his last seven games, including impressive performances against a strong squad like the Lightning. His volume of shots in even-strength situations proves vital, given that the Golden Knights are not heavily penalized.

- Barbashev to score over 0.5 points
