A veteran of seven pro seasons, Barber has played 364 games in the AHL with Grand Rapids, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Laval and Hershey and has totaled 154 goals and 150 assists for 304 points. He is a five-time 20-goal scorer in the AHL, and was voted to the Central Division All-Star Team in 2020-21.
The Pittsburgh native was a sixth-round pick by Washington in the 2012 NHL Draft, and has played 16 games in the NHL with Washington, Montreal and Detroit.
