Predators' Michael McCarron: Buries another goal
McCarron scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Capitals.
McCarron has three goals over his last five games. That's a pretty good pace for a defensive forward, though it won't last. He's up to five goals, 12 points, 83 shots on net, 157 hits, 56 blocked shots, 69 PIM and a minus-13 rating over 56 appearances this season. McCarron needs two more points to match his 74-game total from last year.

Predators' Michael McCarron: 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.
McCarron logged the opening goal just over five minutes into 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. While his offensive output has taken the back seat to his defensive responsibilities for the Predators, two of his goals have been in the last seven games. McCarron is best deployed in deeper fantasy formats for rosters that lack high-end totals for hits and blocks across category-based leagues.

Predators' Michael McCarron: Puts icing on cake Friday
McCarron scored a shorthanded empty-net goal and logged three hits in Friday's 7-3 win over the Avalanche.
McCarron had the second of the Predators' empty-netters in the contest, ending his own 41-game goal drought in the process. The 30-year-old has had little puck luck this season -- he took 59 shots on net during that drought. For the season, the veteran forward is at two goals, nine points, 66 shots on net, 65 PIM, 134 hits, 45 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating over 46 appearances. McCarron will continue to see time on the penalty kill while filling a fourth-line role at even strength.

Predators' Michael McCarron: Helps out on empty netter
McCarron notched an assist in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Maple Leafs.

The fourth-line forward has six points, 39 shots on net, 92 hits, 31 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a minus-8 rating through 33 appearances this season. McCarron offers plenty of grit and decent defensive skills, but he doesn't score enough to help in most fantasy formats.

Predators' Michael McCarron: Set to return
McCarron (lower body) is expected to be in the lineup versus the Panthers on Thursday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
McCarron missed one game with the injury, but he's slated to be back in a third-line role. The 30-year-old provides more of a physical boost than a lift to the Predators' offense. Tyson Jost will exit the lineup to make room.

McCarron (lower body) won't be in the lineup Tuesday versus the Flames, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Predators' Michael McCarron: Dealing with injury
McCarron sustained an undisclosed injury Saturday versus the Jets and is considered day-to-day, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
McCarron appears to have come out a bit worse for wear after a first-period fight with Logan Stanley. Head coach Andrew Brunette didn't specify the nature of McCarron's injury, though given that it happened in a fight, it could be an upper-body issue. His status for Tuesday versus the Flames is undecided.

Predators' Michael McCarron: Draws helper Wednesday
McCarron posted an assist, three shots on goal, five hits and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Red Wings.
McCarron ended a seven-game point drought when he helped out on Roman Josi's third-period tally. The 30-year-old McCarron plays a physical role in the bottom six, which doesn't tend to lead to a lot of offense. On the year, the hard-hitting forward has five points, 29 shots on net, 63 hits, 18 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-8 rating over 23 appearances.

Predators' Michael McCarron: Pots goal in loss to Toronto
McCarron scored a goal, logged two hits and added two PIM in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Maple Leafs.
McCarron has started 2025-26 as a regular on the fourth line. The 30-year-old's goal Tuesday was his first point of the campaign, and he's added six shots on net, 10 hits and four PIM. McCarron has the potential to top 100 hits and 100 PIM, but he's reached the 20-point mark just once over his first eight NHL campaigns, so don't expect regular contributions on offense.

Predators' Michael McCarron: Returns to practice Thursday
McCarron (personal) returned to practice Thursday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
McCarron was excused from Wednesday's practice while awaiting the birth of his child, but he was back on the ice a day later. He'll likely be in the mix to suit up in Saturday's preseason finale against Carolina, and it seems unlikely that his brief absence will impact his availability for the start of the regular season.

Predators' Michael McCarron: Misses practice Wednesday
McCarron wasn't at practice Wednesday while awaiting the birth of his child, Alex Daugherty of The Tennessean reports.
With no reason to rush him back into action, McCarron should probably be considered questionable, at best, to get into Saturday's preseason matchup with the Hurricanes. The veteran center looks poised to start the season in a fourth-line role for the Preds and should see plenty of minutes with the penalty kill.

Predators' Michael McCarron: Lights lamp in chaotic win
McCarron scored a goal on three shots, doled out three hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime win over the Islanders.
McCarron ended his 15-game goal drought with the tally to tie the game at 4-4 in the second period. In that span, he had three assists, 32 hits, 32 PIM, 18 shots on net and 14 blocked shots.

McCarron is now at five goals, 14 points, 77 shots, 143 hits, 100 PIM, 58 blocks and a minus-19 rating over 70 outings while playing in a bottom-six role for the majority of the campaign.

Predators' Michael McCarron: Records assist
McCarron provided an assist, fired two shots on goal and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
McCarron put an end to a six-game point drought with his helper on Filip Forsberg's empty-netter in the third period. The 30-year-old McCarron saw 16:23 of ice time Saturday -- he's been above 15 minutes in six of 11 games in March. He won't add much on offense, as evidenced by his 11 points through 61 appearances, but the veteran forward has added 70 shots on net, 88 PIM, 122 hits and 48 blocked shots to provide some grit in a bottom-six role.

Predators' Michael McCarron: Buries goal Thursday
McCarron scored a goal, added four hits and blocked three shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Kraken.
McCarron has two goals, one assist, seven PIM and 12 hits over his last six outings. The 29-year-old has been seeing a larger role lately, logging between 14 and 16 minutes of ice time in each of his last five games. With the Predators selling prior to the trade deadline, he may be asked to do a bit more to help shelter the prospects they call up to fill the gaps. McCarron is at four goals, 10 points, 56 shots on net, 108 hits, 42 blocked shots, 68 PIM and a minus-16 rating over 54 appearances.

Predators' Michael McCarron: Goal, fight in loss
McCarron scored a goal on two shots and added seven PIM in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Panthers.
McCarron fought Jonah Gadjovich in the second period and then scored the Predators' lone goal of the game in third. This was McCarron's first tally since Nov. 14 versus the Oilers. The fourth-line forward is up to three goals, eight points, 51 shots on net, 97 hits, 68 PIM and a minus-16 rating over 49 appearances this season. While he has been in the lineup frequently, McCarron offers little fantasy appeal outside of banger leagues.

Predators' Michael McCarron: Produces helper in loss
McCarron logged an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Sabres.
McCarron has two helpers over his last six games. The 29-year-old fourth-liner continues to offer limited scoring upside -- he's in a goal drought of 27 games that began Nov. 15, and he has just four assists during that stretch. Overall, he's contributed seven points, 42 shots on net, 55 PIM, 84 hits and a minus-16 rating over 42 appearances.

Predators' Michael McCarron: Offers assist in win
McCarron provided an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Wild.
McCarron also won 16 of 20 faceoffs in a dominant performance at the dot. He saw 16:16 of ice time, which is tied for his second-highest total of a game this season. The helper snapped an eight-game slump for the 29-year-old forward, who also avoided getting involved in fight night after some bad blood from these two teams' game Dec. 31 spilled over into Saturday's contest. McCarron is up to six points, 34 shots on net, 77 hits, 46 PIM and a minus-15 rating through 37 appearances this season.

Predators' Michael McCarron: Notches helper in loss
McCarron produced an assist in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Blues.
The helper was McCarron's first point in 10 contests since he returned from an upper-body injury that cost him six games. The 29-year-old remains confined to a fourth-line role, and that's not a good spot to be in given the Predators' abysmal scoring in 2024-25. The veteran forward has just five points to go with 23 shots on net, 36 PIM, 58 hits and a minus-14 rating over 28 appearances.
