Barron scored two empty-net goals in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Panthers. The fourth-liner potted his first two tallies of the campaign just 19 seconds apart in the third period with Sergei Bobrovsky on the bench, snapping a 17-game point drought in the process. Barron scored a career-high 11 goals in 2023-24, but his role doesn't afford him many opportunities to make an offensive impact, and he has only three points in 19 appearances this season.

Barron has gone 17 games without a point after being held off the scoresheet in Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Panthers. Barron earned a helper in the season opener versus the Oilers, and that's the extent of his offense so far. The 25-year-old has added 20 shots on net, 29 hits, 11 blocked shots, six PIM and a minus-2 rating over 18 appearances. The Jets' 15-3-0 start has led to few lineup changes, but they've lost two games in a row, and Barron's fourth-line position could be challenged by David Gustafsson if the slump gets worse.

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.

Barron is on Winnipeg's training camp roster, indicating that the forward has moved past his knee injury that kept him out of the postseason in 2023-24. Barron was injured in Winnipeg's penultimate game of the regular season -- it caused him to miss the regular-season finale and the entirety of the team's first-round series versus Colorado. The 25-year-old will compete for a spot on the team's fourth line while potentially filling a role on the penalty kill. Barron has 45 career points in 182 regular-season appearances, so he's unlikely to offer much fantasy value outside of the deepest of leagues.

Barron has a knee injury that forced him to miss the last six games of the season, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun reports. Barron suffered the injury versus the Kraken on Apr. 16. He had 11 goals and 18 points in 80 games this season as a bottom-six forward.
