Barlow scored two goals in AHL Manitoba's 6-1 win over Iowa on Saturday.
Barlow has mostly struggled this season, but he has five goals over his last eight outings. For the season, he's at eight goals, 16 points, 88 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over 65 appearances. That level of production won't make it easy for Barlow to get to the NHL anytime soon -- he'll likely need more development time in 2026-27.

Jets' Colby Barlow: Scoring pace down
Rotowire
Barlow has 28 goals and 20 assists over 48 appearances with OHL Oshawa this season.
After three years with the Owen Sound Attack, Barlow was traded to the Generals this season. His offense has actually been in decline for a couple of years -- he had 79 points in 59 regular-season contests in 2022-23, and was down to 48 points in 50 outings in 2023-24. Despite Barlow's downtick in offense, he's on a strong team that should have him playing deep into the spring before potentially getting a brief look with either the Jets or AHL Manitoba. He'll be eligible to play with Manitoba for all of 2025-26, and given his drop in offense, some time with the minor-league club should serve his development well.
