EDGE Analysis

Barabanov scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Barabanov opened the scoring at 10:26 of the second period, but the Sharks' lead lasted just over a minute before the Jets tied it again. With two goals in January, he's already exceeded his tallies from December. Barabanov was on the verge of becoming a healthy scratch last month, and his bottom-six role in a weak offense isn't good for his fantasy value. This season, he's managed seven points, 28 shots on net and a minus-13 rating through 19 appearances.

EDGE Analysis

Barabanov has a goal and five points in 14 contests with the Sharks this season, which is a disappointing start after he recorded 15 goals and 47 points in 68 outings during the 2022-23 campaign. When Barabanov's healthy, the 29-year-old will likely serve in a top-six capacity and see time on the power play.

Barabanov notched a power-play assist and went minus-2 in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Barabanov has five points over seven contests since he returned from a finger injury. His helper Sunday was his first power-play point through 13 outings this season. He's added 20 shots on net and a minus-6 rating. Aside from a poor plus-minus, he should be capable of solid numbers while holding down a top-six role.

Barabanov notched an assist, two shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Barabanov has a goal and three assists over four games since he returned from a finger injury. He's slotted in seamlessly to his usual top-line role alongside longtime linemate Tomas Hertl, and it's a combination that has helped the Sharks win two of the four games Barabanov's played in since his return. The 29-year-old started the season with six scoreless outings prior to the injury, but he's picked up 15 shots on net and a minus-3 rating through 10 contests. Fantasy managers will at least want to keep an eye on him when he's in the top six, as he could provide a solid return on minimal investment in most formats.
