Jets' Morgan Barron: Chips in on lone goal
Rotowire
Barron distributed an assist, put three shots on net and recorded four hits in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Oilers.
Barron played a hand in the Jets' lone goal in Monday's game, which was scored by Adam Lowry in the third period. With the helper, Barron is up to six assists, 13 points, 49 shots on net and 71 hits through 31 games this season. While the Jets have begun to tumble down the Central Division standings amid offensive inconsistencies, the 27-year-old winger has been incredibly steady through it all. Over the last eight games, he has four goals, six points, 17 shots on net and 24 hits. Barron's recent showings offensively have brought him just eight points shy of his career high of 21 over 70 regular-season games in the 2022-23 campaign. His ability to remain consistent despite the Jets falling apart around him gives him solid streaming value across multiple fantasy formats.

Jets' Morgan Barron: Scores, dishes seven hits
Rotowire
Barron recorded a goal and added seven hits in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Mammoth.
Barron has been getting it done on both ends of the ice of late, earning points in five of his last six appearances and also delivering multiple hits in all but one game during that stretch. Barron has four goals in that six-game span, a pretty solid output considering he still plays in a bottom-six role. His hot streak could make him a viable streaming option in some formats, though his upside will remain fairly limited due to his role in the lineup.

Jets' Morgan Barron: Nets shortie in loss
Rotowire
Barron scored a shorthanded goal on two shots in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche.
Barron has three goals and an assist over his last five games. The Jets have given him a middle-six role lately since he's one of the few forwards on the roster making a positive impact. His fantasy usefulness remains limited since he doesn't have a power-play job. Barron is up to six goals (two shorthanded), 11 points, 43 shots on net, 60 hits, 18 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 28 appearances this season.

Jets' Morgan Barron: Scores again Saturday
Rotowire
Barron scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM, doled out two hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Capitals.
Barron has scored in consecutive games and has earned three points, 14 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-6 rating over his last five outings. The 27-year-old was shuffled up to the third line for Saturday's contest, and an increase in ice time might help him sustain some success on offense. Overall, he's at nine points, 37 shots on net, 52 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 25 appearances, putting him on pace to top the 20-point mark for just the second time in his career.

Overall, he has eight points, 35 shots, 50 hits, 16 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 24 appearances. He's played well enough generally to stay in the lineup, but his usage doesn't make him a viable fantasy forward in most formats.

Jets' Morgan Barron: Labeled day-to-day
Rotowire
Barron (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day but won't be in action against Vancouver on Tuesday, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.
Barron will be sidelined for his fourth consecutive game due to his undisclosed injury, but he at least seems to be trending in the right direction. After a strong start to the season, five points in the first four games -- the 26-year-old Barron has been ice cold of late, registering a lone point in his last eight outings.

Jets' Morgan Barron: Keeps scoring Thursday
Rotowire
Barron scored a goal and added two hits in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.
Barron has opened the season on a four-game point streak, consisting of three goals and two assists. He's added five shots on net, eight hits and a plus-2 rating. Despite the success, he's yet to work his way into power-play time, and he remains on the fourth line at even strength. Barron is already a third of the way to his total of 15 points from the 2024-25 regular season, but this is likely a case of a small sample. While he may have a career year, his usage is not the most fantasy-friendly.
Barron scored the opening goal, had an assist and dished out two hits in Monday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.
Barron struck the back of the net for the first goal of the contest to help his new linemate Cole Koepke (lower body) register his first point with the team. Barron later notched a secondary assist on Logan Stanley's goal in the second period. Overall, the 26-year-old Barron is up to two goals, two assists and six hits through three games this season. He has filled in the fourth-line center role admirably to start the season in the absence of team captain Adam Lowry, who is expected to return from hip surgery in late October. With four points out of the gate this year, Barron should have the chance to challenge for the 20-point mark for the second time in four seasons with Winnipeg. If he can maintain a fraction of this offensive pace, he could be due for a career year, making him an intriguing name to watch in deeper leagues.
