Tallies game-winner Tuesday McCarron scored a goal and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Stars in Game 5.

Impact McCarron's goal at 7:47 of the third period stood as the game-winner. The veteran center has earned two goals, five shots on net, 14 hits, five blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over five contests in this first-round playoff series so far. McCarron was bumped up to the third line for Game 5, as Danila Yurov and Nico Sturm came out of the lineup to make room for wingers Mats Zuccarello and Yakov Trenin each returning from upper-body injuries. McCarron's spot in the lineup isn't in jeopardy, but he's firmly a bottom-six forward.

Scores in Game 3 loss McCarron scored a goal and added three hits in Wednesday's 4-3 double-overtime loss to the Stars in Game 3.

Impact McCarron's goal put the Wild ahead 3-2 late in the second period, but they couldn't maintain the lead. This was McCarron's first career playoff goal -- prior to this postseason, he had never recorded a point in nine playoff outings over three different campaigns. The 31-year-old was able to produce 17 points over 79 regular-season contests between the Wild and the Predators, and the Wild traded for him to stabilize their fourth line, so he should see plenty of playing time in that role.

Buries shortie in loss McCarron scored a shorthanded goal on three shots and added two hits in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Blues.

Impact McCarron has scored in back-to-back games. He played on the third line Monday as the Wild rotated many players out of the lineup, but he'll be a fourth-line fixture come playoff time. He's earned eight goals, 17 points, 107 shots on net, 203 hits, 77 blocked shots, 91 PIM and a minus-16 rating over 78 outings between the Wild and the Predators this season.

Impact It was his first goal in 17 games. McCarron got his own rebound after tipping a point shot and went blocker side on Justus Annunen in the third. It was his first game against the team that traded him to Minnesota on March 3. McCarron is a bottom-six role player who has just four points (two goals, two assists) in 18 games with his new team. Overall, he has 16 points, including seven goals, in 77 games this season.

Two points in team debut McCarron scored a goal, dished an assist, added two PIM and doled out three hits in Friday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact McCarron's first game with the Wild couldn't have gone much better. The 30-year-old was acquired from the Predators on Tuesday and slotted onto the fourth line in his Wild debut. That's likely where he'll stay moving forward, though he should still be a steady source of hits. He has earned six goals, 14 points, 87 shots on net, 168 hits, 60 blocked shots and 75 PIM over 60 appearances this season, matching his point total from 74 outings a year ago.
