Barabanov (lower body) won't play in Saturday's preseason tilt with Vegas but should be available Opening Night against the Jets on Oct. 16, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Barabanov saw action in just 22 games for the Maple Leafs and Sharks last year but is slated to take on a top-six role this season and could be a sneaky fantasy pickup. The 27-year-old winger may also log minutes with the power play, including the No. 1 unit, which would further bolster his fantasy value.
