Barabanov made his Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) debut playing with powerhouse SKA Saint Petersburg during the 2013–14 KHL season.[1] Barabanov won the Gagarin Cup with Saint Petersburg in 2015 and 2017.[2] He was named a KHL All-Star in the 2018–19 KHL season.[3] On 7 April 2020, Barabanov having played seven seasons in the KHL with Saint Petersburg, opted to pursue a career in the National Hockey League (NHL) by signing a one-year entry-level contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs.[4]
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.[5] Playing in a reduced role, due to the Maple Leafs forward depth, Barabanov appeared sporadically in 13 regular season games collecting one point, a primary assist on a T. J. Brodie goal in a 3–2 victory also over the Canadiens, on 7 April 2021.[6] In an assignment to the Maple Leafs American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Toronto Marlies, Barabanov showed his offensive acumen in collecting five points through two games.[7]
On 12 April 2021, Barabanov was traded from Toronto at the trade deadline to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for Antti Suomela.[7] 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.[8] On 12 May 2021, he signed a one-year extension.[3] During the 2021–22 season, Barabanov played in 70 games, scoring ten goals and 29 points. In the 2022 offseason, he re-signed with San Jose to a two-year, $5 million contract extension.[9] During the 2022–23 season, Barabanov improved, scoring 15 goals and 47 points in 68 games before being missing the remainder of the season due to injury.[10] Barabanov struggled with injuries in the 2023–24 season, appearing in only 46 games, scoring four goals and 13 points.[11][12]
