Predators' Justin Barron: Flipped in trade to Nashville
Barron was traded to the Predators from the Canadiens on Wednesday in exchange for Alexandre Carrier.

Barron has a goal, 16 shots on net, 20 blocked shots, 17 hits and a minus-4 rating over 17 appearances this season. He'll likely occupy a third-pairing role in Nashville.
