EDGE Analysis

Barabanov was reassigned to Toronto's taxi squad Wednesday, CapFriendly reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barabanov has been a healthy scratch for six straight games, so this move doesn't come as a surprise. He's gone scoreless through 11 contests this campaign.

Barabanov was added to the active roster Monday, according to CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
Barabanov has been held without a point in 11 games this season. He hasn't been in the NHL lineup since the beginning of March and should continue watching games from the press box.

Barabanov was added to Toronto's taxi squad Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Barabanov has appeared in 11 games with the Maple Leafs this season, but he's gone scoreless over that span, so don't expect him to be a viable fantasy option in 2020-21.

Barabanov was reassigned to AHL Toronto on Thursday, per CBS Sports.
EDGE Analysis
Barabanov has fallen out of favor among the bottom-six forwards with the Maple Leafs. If this isn't just a paper move, he'll have a chance to get into some games in an advanced role with the Marlies.

Barabanov was demoted to the taxi squad Thursday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
Barabanov continues to be in the mix for bottom-six minutes, but that will lead to some shuffling between the taxi squad and active roster.

Barabanov (COVID-19 protocols) had four shots on goal in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime win against Calgary.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old was placed in the league's COVID-19 protocol Tuesday but tested negative twice to gain clearance to return. On the positive side, Barabanov managed to register four shots despite receiving less than nine minutes of playing time. On the negative side, Barabanov has now gone nine games this season without a point.

Barabanov has been removed from COVID-19 protocols and is expected to play Wednesday against visiting Calgary, Sportsnet's Chris Johnston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barabanov tested negative twice after an initial inconclusive test, so he's good to go against the Flames. He's still looking for his first point of the year, however, having gone scoreless in his first eight contests while averaging a minuscule 6:57 of ice time.

Barabanov was placed in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol Tuesday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barabanov logged 11:13 of ice time in Monday's loss to the Flames. It's uncertain whether he tested positive for the virus, or if he simply came into close contact with an infected person. The 26-year-old will need to clear the league's protocol before re-entering the lineup.

Barabanov will be promoted to the active roster and play in Monday's clash with Calgary, Kristen Shilton of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barabanov will get back in the lineup for the first time since Feb. 8 versus Vancouver, logging just 8:08 of ice time. With Joe Thornton (undisclosed) and Zach Hyman (undisclosed) both out of action, the 26-year-old Barabanov figures to slot into a bottom-six role.
