Playing career

Barabanov made his Kontinental Hockey League debut playing with powerhouse SKA Saint Petersburg during the 2013–14 KHL season.[1]

On 7 April 2020, Barabanov having played seven seasons in the KHL with Saint Petersburg, opted to pursue a career in the NHL by signing a one-year entry-level contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs.[2]

In the pandemic delayed 2020–21 season, Barabanov remained on the Maple Leafs opening night roster and made his NHL debut in a 5–4 overtime win over the Montreal Canadiens on 13 January 2021.[3] Playing in a reduced role, due to the Maple Leafs forward depth, Barabanov appeared sporadically in 13 regular season games collecting 1 point, a primary assist on a T. J. Brodie goal in a 3–2 victory also over the Canadiens, on 7 April 2021.[4] In an assignment to the Maple Leafs AHL affiliate, the Toronto Marlies, Barabanov showed his offensive acumen in collecting 5 points through 2 games.

On 12 April 2021, Barabanov was traded from Toronto at the trade deadline to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for Antti Suomela.[5] He made his debut with the Sharks on 26 April 2021, in a 6–4 win over the Arizona Coyotes, in which he scored his first NHL goal.[6] On 12 May 2021, he signed a one-year extension.[7]

International play

Barabanov has played for the Russian national team in the World Junior Championships and Senior World Championships. He was a member of the Olympic Athletes from Russia team at the 2018 Winter Olympics.
