Justin Barron - NHL News & Rumors

Off injured reserve Barron (lower body) was taken off injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Barron has four assists, 13 hits and 22 blocks in 19 appearances with Nashville in 2025-26. He's an option to draw into the lineup for Saturday's game against St. Louis, but it's also possible that he'll be a healthy scratch. If Barron does play Saturday, then it will probably be as a member of the third pairing.

Shifted to IR Barron (lower body) was designated for injured reserve Friday and is considered week-to-week.

Impact Barron has already been out of action for the Preds' last seven contests and doesn't appear to be close to returning. Considering the 24-year-old blueliner has managed just four points in 19 outings this year, his absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy managers. Even once given the all-clear, Barron could find himself serving as a healthy scratch periodically.

Still out Thursday Barron (lower body) won't play Thursday versus the Panthers, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Impact Barron remains out on a day-to-day basis with the injury. It's unclear if he'll get back into the lineup immediately once healthy, thanks to the strong play of Nick Blankenburg recently. The Predators face the Hurricanes on Saturday.

Impact Barron's injury was first reported Monday, though he'll be out of the lineup for a sixth straight game Tuesday. The 24-year-old is joined by Nick Perbix (upper body) as injured blueliners for Nashville. Adam Wilsby will enter the lineup to help pick up the slack. Even when healthy, there's no guarantee Barron will be active.

Considered day-to-day Barron is considered day-to-day due to a lower-body injury, Max Herz of 102.5 The Game Nashville reports Monday.

Impact Barron hasn't appeared in any of the Predators' last five games, and he was absent for a morning skate last week, but it's unclear whether his absences were related to his injury, as Roman Josi returned to action against the Avalanche on Nov. 22. Across 19 appearances this year, Barron has recorded four assists, 22 blocked shots, 13 hits and six PIM while averaging 15:08 of ice time.

Picks up assist in loss Barron managed an assist and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Ducks.

Impact Barron earned his first point in seven contests when he helped out on a Tyson Jost goal in the first period. The 23-year-old Barron remains in a third-pairing role for now, but he hasn't done much to impress so far. He's supplied four shots on net, 10 blocks, four hits and a minus-1 rating. Barron could be at risk of losing ice time to Nick Blankenburg or Nicolas Hague (upper body) in the near future.

Barron's place in the lineup isn't safe though -- the Predators claimed Jordan Oesterle off waivers from the Bruins on Thursday. Barron is at nine points, 43 shots on net, 53 blocked shots, 49 hits and a minus-12 rating through 42 appearances between Nashville and Montreal this season.

The 23-year-old Barron is up to eight points in 39 outings this season, seven of which he's earned over 22 games since he was dealt from Montreal to Nashville. The defenseman has added 40 shots on net, 46 hits, 51 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating between the two teams.
