EDGE Analysis
Prior to the Sharks' COVID-19 outbreak, Barabanov had struggled to get into the lineup. He's since logged two goals and three assists in the last seven games, and that's kept him in a second-line role even as the team got all of its players out of the virus protocols for Saturday's contest. The 27-year-old is at six points, three shots on net and a minus-3 rating through nine contests -- he's got an incredibly low shot volume that suggests regression is coming.
