Following last season's trade deadline, where the Vegas Golden Knights scooped up two of the top players on the market, Tomas Hertl and Noah Hanifin, at the 11th hour, there was an expectation they were going to make some noise once again.

Barbashev scored a goal in Friday's 4-0 win over the Penguins.

Ivan Barbashev had two goals and two assists, Vegas scored five times in the first period and the Golden Knights held off the Chicago Blackhawks to win 7-5.

The 33-year-old winger, one of the original Misfits, has played the fifth-most games and scored the third-most goals in franchise history.
