Morgan Barron - NHL News & Rumors

Credited with goal Barron scored a goal and fired four shots on net in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Predators.

Impact Barron was credited with the Jets' first goal after a Nashville skater put it in his own net during a scramble at the net front. The goal was Barron's first since Dec. 21 against the Wild. The 26-year-old forward has four points over his last eight outings but is unlikely to emerge as a steady scorer while filling a fourth-line role. For the season, he has four goals, seven points, 50 shots, 69 hits, 28 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 42 appearances.

Assists in back-to-back games Barron posted an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Barron has a helper in each of the last two games and three points over his last five outings. The fourth-liner is getting more involved, but there's no telling how long his newfound offense will last since he continues to struggle to see 10 minutes of ice time per game. Overall, Barron has three goals, three assists, 46 shots on net, 65 hits and a plus-4 rating over 39 appearances.

Picks up helper in win Barron notched an assist and two hits in Monday's 3-0 win over the Predators.

Impact Barron has two points over his last four games while continuing to see time on the fourth line. It's unlikely his role will change even with the Jets missing Mason Appleton (lower body) on a week-to-week basis. Barron has five points, 44 shots on net, 64 hits, 25 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 38 appearances this season.

Deposits goal in win Barron scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Wild.

Impact This was Barron's first tally against a goalie this season -- his previous two goals were into an empty net against the Panthers on Nov. 19. The Jets have been great in 2024-25, but they've gotten by largely without offense from the fourth line, where Barron has seen virtually all of his ice time. He's at four points, 42 shots on net, 59 hits, 22 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 35 outings overall.

Two empty-netters Tuesday Barron scored two empty-net goals in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Panthers.

Impact The fourth-liner potted his first two tallies of the campaign just 19 seconds apart in the third period with Sergei Bobrovsky on the bench, snapping a 17-game point drought in the process. Barron did score a career-high 11 goals in 2023-24, but his role doesn't afford him many opportunities to make an offensive impact, and he has only three points in 19 appearances this season.

Stuck in slump Barron has gone 17 games without a point after being held off the scoresheet in Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Barron earned a helper in the season opener versus the Oilers, and that's the extent of his offense so far. The 25-year-old has added 20 shots on net, 29 hits, 11 blocked shots, six PIM and a minus-2 rating over 18 appearances. The Jets' 15-3-0 start has led to few lineup changes, but they've lost two games in a row, and Barron's fourth-line position could be challenged by David Gustafsson if the slump gets worse.

NOVEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gathers assist Barron posted an assist in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Oilers.

Impact Barron made the season-opening lineup because David Gustafsson (lower body) is out of action. Last year, Barron had 18 points and 122 hits in 80 regular-season appearances while filling a fourth-line role. Barring injuries to other players, that's the assignment he'll draw again in 2024-25, giving him minimal scoring upside for fantasy purposes.

OCTOBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ready for camp Barron is on Winnipeg's training camp roster, indicating that the forward has moved past his knee injury that kept him out of the postseason in 2023-24.

Impact Barron was injured in Winnipeg's penultimate game of the regular season -- it caused him to miss the regular-season finale and the entirety of the team's first-round series versus Colorado. The 25-year-old will compete for a spot on the team's fourth line while potentially filling a role on the penalty kill. Barron has 45 career points in 182 regular-season appearances, so he's unlikely to offer much fantasy value outside of the deepest of leagues.

Suffered knee injury Barron had a knee injury that forced him to miss the last six games of the season, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

Impact Barron suffered the injury versus the Kraken on Apr. 16, and would have not been available had the Jets extended the series. He had 11 goals and 18 points in 80 games this season as a bottom-six forward.

Still not skating Barron (lower body) won't be available for Game 5 versus Colorado on Tuesday, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.

Impact Barron, who hasn't resumed skating yet, will miss his sixth straight contest after getting hurt in the penultimate game of the regular season. He registered 11 goals, 18 points, 94 shots on net and 122 hits in 80 appearances during the 2023-24 campaign.

APRIL 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

At least a week away Barron (lower body) has yet to resume skating and is still at least a week away from returning to game action, Murat Ares of The Athletic reports.

Impact Barron will miss the first four games of Winnipeg's first-round matchup with the Avalanche at a minimum, and he might need the Jets to advance to the second round in order to play again in 2023-24. He picked up 11 goals, 18 points and 122 hits through 80 contests during the regular season.

APRIL 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Sunday Barron (lower body) will not play in Game 1 versus Colorado on Sunday, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.

Impact Coach Rick Bowness would not say who would replace Barron on the fourth line, but it is believed that either David Gustafsson or Cole Perfetti will be in the lineup. Barron had a career high 11 goals, as well as 11 assists and 122 hits in 80 games.

In doubt for postseason Barron (lower body) is questionable for Game 1 of the playoffs, in addition to missing Thursday's clash with Vancouver, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

Impact Barron is coming off a career year in which he set new personal bests in games (80), goals (11) and hits (122). Without the 25-year-old winger in the lineup, the Jets will have to decide between David Gustafsson, Cole Perfetti and Rasmus Kupari for a spot in the lineup -- though all three could see minutes if coach Rick Bowness decides to rest some of Winnipeg's stars.

Departs contest Barron (lower body) won't finish Tuesday's game versus the Kraken.

Impact Barron was ruled out shortly after the start of the first intermission. The team did not provide more details, but it's possibly a precautionary move given the time of year. If Barron doesn't play Thursday versus the Canucks, Cole Perfetti or David Gustafsson are most likely to enter the lineup.

Lone tally in win Barron scored a goal on his only shot in Wednesday's 1-0 victory over San Jose.

Impact Barron was responsible for the lone goal in Wednesday's matchup late in the first period, as he deflected a Neal Pionk shot past Kaapo Kahkonen for the eventual game-winner in Winnipeg's 1-0 win. The goal snapped a 13-game scoring drought for the 25-year-old Barron, who remains confined to a fourth-line role. He's up to nine goals, a new career best, and 13 points through 51 games this season.

Matches career high in goals Barron scored a goal in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Sharks.

Impact Barron tied the game at 1-1 when he got a piece of a Neal Pionk shot in the second period. Over the last five games, Barron has made the most of his fourth-line minutes with three goals, two assists and a plus-6 rating. The 25-year-old winger matched his career high in goals with eight, and he's up to 12 points, 56 shots on net, 37 hits, 27 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 37 outings overall. The Jets are rolling four lines lately, though Barron's unlikely to sustain a near point-per-game pace in the long run.

Two points in victory Barron tallied a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Lightning.

Impact Barron picked up an assist on Neal Pionk's opening goal in the first period before adding a second point with an empty-netter in the third. Barron now has two goals and two assists in his last four games after going six contests without a point. While it's been a nice stretch for the 25-year-old forward, he's not likely to keep scoring at this rate in a fourth-line role. Barron now has 11 points (seven goals, five assists) while averaging 10:59 minutes through 37 games this season.

Scores lone goal in overtime loss Barron scored a goal in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.

The winger has added two assists, 50 shots on net, 34 hits, 23 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 33 contests while playing in a fourth-line role.
