Long-range tip-in goal McCarron scored a goal, added two hits and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Oilers.

Impact McCarron tipped in a goal from the high slot to open the scoring at 8:22 of the first period. The tally ended his six-game point drought, a span which included him sitting out twice as a healthy scratch. The 29-year-old forward has two goals, one assist, 12 shots on net, 30 hits, 23 PIM and a minus-9 rating through 15 appearances this season. He's a lock for bottom-six minutes when in the lineup, and that's unlikely to lead to enough offense to help fantasy managers.

Contributes assist McCarron notched an assist, two shots on goal, four hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact McCarron set up a Cole Smith goal in the third period. The 29-year-old McCarron hasn't done much on offense while filling a fourth-line role this season, earning two points over eight games. He's added nine shots on net, 14 hits, 12 PIM and a minus-7 rating. He won't be consistent enough on offense to help in the vast majority of fantasy formats.

Scores in Tuesday's loss McCarron scored a goal and went minus-4 in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Kraken.

Impact McCarron netted his first goal of the campaign, but the Predators' fourth line was caved in by the Kraken's offense. The 29-year-old has added three shots on net, two hits, two blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over three games this season. He'll likely rack up plenty of hits and PIM, but McCarron's career high in points came last year (22 in 70 regular-season games), and he doesn't have a lot of upside in that area.

Impact The 28-year-old tallied at 8:43 of the third period, and his goal stood as the game-winner. It was McCarron's first goal since Jan. 29, though the forward has four points over his last six outings. For the season, the fourth-liner has career highs in goals (eight), points (16), shots on net (55), PIM (77) and blocked shots (34) while adding a plus-2 rating and 100 hits through 47 appearances.

He's added an element of grit for the Predators with 93 hits, 75 PIM and a minus-1 rating, and he's more or less been a regular in the lineup since November.

Secures two-year extension McCarron inked a two-year, $1.8 million contract extension with Nashville on Friday.

Impact McCarron will see a slight uptick in salary compared to his current $775,000 cap hit. The 28-year-old center needs just two more points to set a new personal best and could top the 20-point threshold for the first time in his seven-year NHL career.

Predators' Michael McCarron Takes Advantage Of Fortuitous Bounce Off Glass To Score From Slot

Earns two assists Tuesday McCarron notched a pair of helpers in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Anaheim.

Impact McCarron is just four points shy of setting a new career-best through just 31 games this season, having tallied six goals and five assists. While the 28-year-old center's offensive output is certainly a positive for fantasy players, he probably shouldn't be expected to offer more than mid-range fantasy value, at best, in his fourth-line role.

JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Scores sixth goal of 2023-24 McCarron found the back of the net in a 6-3 loss to Calgary on Thursday.

Impact McCarron's marker came early in the third period to narrow the Flames' lead to 5-3, but the Predators weren't able to turn that into a rally. It was his sixth goal and ninth point in 29 outings this season. McCarron serves as a fourth-line center, so his offensive contributions come sporadically. Fantasy managers should note his significant contributions in PIM and hits, though -- the 28-year-old has 52 and 48, respectively.

Pots fifth goal McCarron scored the opening goal and added four PIM, three blocked shots, one hit, one shot on net and a minus-1 rating in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Stars.

Impact The veteran checking-line center earned his fifth goal of the season the hard way. McCarron got knocked down in front of the Dallas net early in the second period, only for Ryan McDonagh's slapshot to hit him in the back of the helmet and trickle across the goal line. McCarron is two tallies short of tying his career high of seven, and on the season he has a meager eight points in 24 games.

DECEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Two goals in win McCarron scored two goals in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over Pittsburgh.

Impact After scoring just one goal through his first 11 games this season, McCarron opened the scoring midway through the first period, deflecting a Tyson Barrie shot, before adding a second goal later in the frame. McCarron would pick up three hits and a five-minute fighting major in the Nashville win. The 28-year-old forward now has five points (three goals, two assists) along with 20 hits on the campaign while skating on the fourth line.

NOVEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Impact McCarron redirected a puck in front of Jacob Markstrom to record his first goal of the season. This was the first game that McCarron has played in since Oct 24 versus Vancouver. When in the lineup, McCarron should be expected to play on the fourth line.
