Impact McCarron's potential return could see Nico Sturm relegated to a spot in the press box against Montreal, though several players in the bottom-six could be in danger of being scratched. For his part, McCarron has notched three goals and five assists in 18 games while averaging 13:35 of ice time.

Won't play Saturday McCarron (undisclosed) isn't expected to play Saturday versus Tampa Bay, per Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News.

Impact McCarron has three goals, eight points, 14 PIM and 53 hits in 18 appearances with Minnesota in 2026-27. His exit from the lineup coincides with the return of Nick Foligno (upper body) and Marcus Foligno (lower body). Tyler Pitlick is also projected to shift out of the lineup Saturday as a healthy scratch.

Questionable for Saturday McCarron (undisclosed) didn't finish Friday's 4-1 win over the Sharks and is questionable for Saturday's game against Tampa Bay, according to Michael Russo of The Athletic.

Impact Russo relayed that McCarron was upended three times on one shift in the third period, which ultimately forced the forward out of the game. Nick Foligno (upper body) and Marcus Foligno (lower body) are also questionable for Saturday's game, so the Wild have several moving parts for the second half of their back-to-back. McCarron has been centering the second line of late, so Danila Yurov and Ryan Hartman should receive increased responsibilities if McCarron is unavailable Saturday.

Scores lone goal in loss McCarron scored a goal and added two hits in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Flames.

Impact McCarron's tally at 4:39 of the third period spoiled Devin Cooley's shutout bid. The 31-year-old McCarron has been a constant in the Wild's bottom six to start the year. He's earned a goal, four assists, 18 shots on net, 32 hits, 11 blocked shots, seven PIM and a plus-4 rating through 11 appearances. McCarron is a decent roster candidate for banger leagues, but his offense isn't likely to stay at this level throughout the campaign.
