Predators' Michael McCarron Takes Advantage Of Fortuitous Bounce Off Glass To Score From Slot

Earns two assists Tuesday McCarron notched a pair of helpers in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Anaheim.

Impact McCarron is just four points shy of setting a new career-best through just 31 games this season, having tallied six goals and five assists. While the 28-year-old center's offensive output is certainly a positive for fantasy players, he probably shouldn't be expected to offer more than mid-range fantasy value, at best, in his fourth-line role.

Scores sixth goal of 2023-24 McCarron found the back of the net in a 6-3 loss to Calgary on Thursday.

Impact McCarron's marker came early in the third period to narrow the Flames' lead to 5-3, but the Predators weren't able to turn that into a rally. It was his sixth goal and ninth point in 29 outings this season. McCarron serves as a fourth-line center, so his offensive contributions come sporadically. Fantasy managers should note his significant contributions in PIM and hits, though -- the 28-year-old has 52 and 48, respectively.

Pots fifth goal McCarron scored the opening goal and added four PIM, three blocked shots, one hit, one shot on net and a minus-1 rating in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Stars.

Impact The veteran checking-line center earned his fifth goal of the season the hard way. McCarron got knocked down in front of the Dallas net early in the second period, only for Ryan McDonagh's slapshot to hit him in the back of the helmet and trickle across the goal line. McCarron is two tallies short of tying his career high of seven, and on the season he has a meager eight points in 24 games.

Two goals in win McCarron scored two goals in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over Pittsburgh.

Impact After scoring just one goal through his first 11 games this season, McCarron opened the scoring midway through the first period, deflecting a Tyson Barrie shot, before adding a second goal later in the frame. McCarron would pick up three hits and a five-minute fighting major in the Nashville win. The 28-year-old forward now has five points (three goals, two assists) along with 20 hits on the campaign while skating on the fourth line.

Impact McCarron redirected a puck in front of Jacob Markstrom to record his first goal of the season. This was the first game that McCarron has played in since Oct 24 versus Vancouver. When in the lineup, McCarron should be expected to play on the fourth line.

When he is in the lineup for the Predators, it's typically as a fourth-liner.

Impact McCarron figures to immediately step into the lineup against the Bruins on Tuesday after Juuso Parssinen (upper body) stayed back in Nashville for the team's two-game road trip. The 28-year-old McCarron is pointless in 16 consecutive contests and figures to see limited minutes in a fourth-line role.
