Jets' Morgan Barron: Two empty-netters Tuesday
Morgan 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.

Jets' Morgan Barron: Stuck in slump
Morgan 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 Winnipeg 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.

Jets' Morgan Barron: Gathers assist
Morgan 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.

Jets' Morgan Barron: Ready for camp
Morgan 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.
