Barrie (strain) will start against the Golden Knights on Tuesday, Mike Chambers of the Denver Post reports.
Barrie got banged up in practice, but if he's starting a preseason game he must be no worse for the wear. Otherwise, the Avalanche wouldn't risk his health. The 27-year-old is coming off a great season where he notched 14 goals and 43 assists in only 68 games. A whopping 30 of those points came on the power play, so he should be primed to do some real damage with the extra man this year.
