Sharks' Alexander Barabanov: Slides helper in win

Barabanov recorded an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Sabres.

Barabanov hasn't solidified a spot in the lineup yet, but he's produced three assists in the four games he's played. The Russian adds little beyond offense -- he has a plus-2 rating, one shot on net, one hit and one blocked shot. The 27-year-old should continue to see middle-six usage while the Sharks' wing depth is tested by the team's COVID-19 outbreak.
