Barabanov is expected to miss four-to-six weeks due to a broken finger, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
Barabanov, who is already on injured reserve, won't require surgery. He didn't have a point and posted nine shots on goal in six outings prior to getting injured. Fabian Zetterlund has been playing alongside Tomas Hertl and Anthony Duclair during Barabanov's absence.
