He was experimented with at  center and now is the Flyers\u2019 primary shutdown defensive pivot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">\u201cHe\u2019s so smart,\u201d Cates said of Barkey. \u201cGood on the walls. When he has the puck with space in the middle, he obviously makes the right play 99 percent of the time. Making those little plays. If he can do that from the center position, that really adds to him and his team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">A potential NHL comparison for Barkey is Carolina\u2019s Logan Stankoven, who, at 5-8 and 165 pounds, was initially penciled in as a winger after dominating the Western Hockey League at center. When Stankoven arrived in Carolina after a trade from Dallas, Rod Brind\u2019Amour gave him a look at center, and he\u2019s thrived to start the playoffs. <\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">\u201cBarkey had the characteristics last night of moving his feet and hounding the puck,\u201d Tocchet said Sunday. \u201cThat\u2019s what Stankoven does. &#8230; He has tree trunk legs, and Barkey could eventually have bigger legs, but when it comes to moving your feet, and a dog on a bone, and all that stuff, those guys are similar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">The Flyers are extremely deep at wing compared to center, so if Barkey is able to make a successful long-term transition to the premium position, that opens up numerous possibilities for the Flyers\u2019 future lineup. All that starts with this series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p type-interstitial text-primary\"><b>\u00bb READ MORE:<!-- --> <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-link-type=\"interstitial\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inquirer.com\/flyers\/positive-numbers-game-2-carolina-hurricanes-power-play-overtime-20260505.html\" class=\"no-underline text-blue-mid hover:shadow-lightmode\">Three key numbers for the Flyers entering a must-win Game 3<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"block font-semibold mt-8 mb-4 text-5 leading-5 sm:text-8 sm:leading-8 lg:text-9 lg:leading-9\">Breakaways<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \"><a class=\"relative z-1 text-blue-mid hover:shadow-lightmode\" data-link-type=\"article-body\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inquirer.com\/topic\/owen-tippett\">Owen Tippett<\/a> is out for Game 3 vs. Carolina with an unspecified day-to-day injury.
