Barabanov was promoted to the active roster Sunday, per CBS Sports.
EDGE Analysis
Barabanov continues to bounce between the active roster and the taxi squad, but playing time has been hard to find lately. The Russian winger has appeared in just three of the Maple Leafs' last eight games. He's still looking for his first NHL point.

The Maple Leafs demoted Barabanov to the taxi squad ahead of Wednesday's game against Montreal, per CBS Sports.
EDGE Analysis
The Russian saw eight minutes of ice time in Monday's game against Vancouver, but he won't take the ice Wednesday. In seven games this season, the 26-year-old has gone pointless while averaging just 6:20 of ice time over that span. Barabanov was replaced by Nicolas Petan on the active roster and in the lineup.

Barabonov is slated to play in Monday's matchup with Vancouver, Jonas Siegel of The Athletic reports, which means he will be elevated to the active roster prior to puck drop.
EDGE Analysis
Barbabanov was a healthy scratch for the team's last two contests while sitting on the taxi squad. In his six contests, the 26-year-old winger garnered four blocks, three hits and two shots while averaging a mere 6:03 of ice time. With Barabaonov back in the lineup, Nicolas Petan will find himself watching from the sidelines.

Barabanov was assigned to the taxi squad Saturday, per CBS Sports.
EDGE Analysis
Barabanov continues to shuffle between levels as the Maple Leafs manage their salary cap. When he plays, the Russian forward is little more than a bottom-six option.

The Maple Leafs reassigned Barabanov to their taxi squad Tuesday, per TSN.
EDGE Analysis
Barabanov has drawn into four games with the big club this season, going scoreless while averaging just 5:52 of ice time per contest. The 26-year-old winger will likely continue to shuffle between the active roster and the taxi squad throughout the campaign.

Barabanov was recalled from the taxi squad Friday, TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barabanov suited up in Friday's 4-2 win over the Oilers and logged 7:56 of ice time and two blocked shots. Injuries have piled up for the Maple Leafs, so Barabonov could be a placeholder until they're healthy again.

Barabanov was sent to the Maple Leafs' taxi squad Saturday, David Alter of The Canadian Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
In a corresponding move, the Maple Leafs called up Nicholas Robertson. Barabanov played in the first two games of the season, but he logged just 9:46 of total ice time between those games. He's eligible to practice with the team, but he'll need to be promoted from the taxi squad to slot back into a game.

Barabanov was assigned to the taxi squad Thursday, James Mirtle of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per Mirtle, this is a paper transaction, as it's expected Barabanov will be in the lineup Friday versus the Senators. Mikko Lehtonen was promoted to the main roster in a corresponding move.
