June 4, 2025 Barber agreed to terms on a one-year deal with ERC Ingolstadt on Wednesday, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports. - Barber has appeared in just 16 NHL games in his career, failing to register a point in those contests. Selected by the Capitals in the sixth round of the 2012 NHL Draft, the 31-year-old Pittsburgh native figures to eventually hang up his skates while finishing his career overseas. None
Oct. 1, 2022 Barber has cleared waivers and will start the season in the AHL, per the Dallas Stars website. - Barber played four games for the Red Wings last season with nary a point and excelled at the AHL level with 28 goals and 53 points in 49 contests. None
Sept. 30, 2022 The Stars waived Barber on Friday, per CapFriendly. - Barber should spend most of the 2022-23 campaign with AHL Texas. He scored 28 goals and 53 points in 49 games with AHL Grand Rapids last year and has just 16 games of NHL experience since the start of the 2016-17 season. None
July 14, 2022 Barber put pen to paper on a one-year, two-way deal with Dallas on Thursday. - Barber has logged just 16 games at the NHL level for the Capitals, Canadiens and Red Wings without having registered a point yet.

April 27, 2022 Barber was reassigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Wednesday. - Barber may still be elevated back to the NHL roster in time for Friday's clash with the Devils.

None
April 26, 2022 Barber was elevated from AHL Grand Rapids on Tuesday. - Barber has been limited to just four games this season and is still looking for his first NHL point after stints in Washington and Montreal.

2020-10-09 analysis Barber has spent most of his professional career in the AHL but does have 12 games of NHL experience on his resume. The 26-year-old forward played 46 AHL games last season and posted 16 goals and 37 total points. Barber could make the Red Wings' roster with a strong training camp, but he's more likely to land with AHL Grand Rapids to start the year.
2020-10-09 update Barber signed a two-year contract with the Red Wings on Friday.
2020-02-20 Franchise 2019 Montreal Canadiens 2019 Pittsburgh Penguins
2020-02-20 analysis In nine NHL games this year, Barber has registered 15 hits, six shots and two PIM while averaging a mere 8:15 of ice time. In the minors, the 26-year-old has been significantly more productive, as he has racked up 13 goals and 18 helpers with AHL Laval. Barring a run of injuries, the Pittsburgh native is unlikely to get into a game for the Penguins this season.
2020-02-20 update Barber and Phil Varone will join the Penguins from the Canadiens in exchange for Joseph Blandisi and Jake Lucchini.
2020-01-02 analysis The 25-year-old made his Montreal debut in the month of December, going pointless in nine contests with the big club. Barber's demotion is likely evidence that one of five forwards dealing with injury for the Canadiens is nearing a return to the ice.
2020-01-02 update The Canadiens assigned Barber to AHL Laval on Thursday, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports.
2019-12-11 analysis Barber, a native of the Pittsburgh suburbs, made his Montreal debut against the team he grew up following. The 25-year-old forward, who was (and remains) the leading scorer at AHL Laval, skated on the Canadiens' fourth line and is expected to stay there for the time being. Linemate Matthew Peca (lower body) left Tuesday's game, so there may be a roster spot available Wednesday against the Senators
2019-12-11 update Barber had two shots and two hits over 12:00 of ice time in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Pittsburgh.
2019-12-08 analysis Barber has racked up six goals and 18 points in 21 games with AHL Laval this season. His last NHL action game in a three-game stint with the Capitals during the 2016-17 campaign. With several injuries to the forward group in Montreal, Barber could squeeze into the lineup for Tuesday's game in Pittsburgh.
2019-12-08 update Barber was recalled from AHL Laval on Sunday.
