Barron posted an assist in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Oilers.

Barron made the season-opening lineup because David Gustafsson (lower body) is out of action. Last year, Barron had 18 points and 122 hits in 80 regular-season appearances while filling a fourth-line role. Barring injuries to other players, that's the assignment he'll draw again in 2024-25, giving him minimal scoring upside for fantasy purposes.
