Finds twine in loss McCarron scored a goal, blocked four shots and recorded three hits in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to New Jersey.

Impact McCarron logged the opening goal just over five minutes in Thursday's contest. On the season, he is up to three goals, 10 points, 73 shots on net, 148 hits and 53 blocked shots across 52 outings.
