Barron logged an assist in Monday's 6-5 win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

This was Barron's first point in 12 games since he returned from a lower-body injury. In that span, he's been scratched seven times, but he looks to have a steady place in the lineup currently due to the absence of Nicolas Hague (lower body). Barron has managed just five helpers with 19 shots on net, 18 hits and 32 blocked shots over 31 appearances in a third-pairing role this season.

Barron (lower body) was taken off injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Barron has four assists, 13 hits and 22 blocks in 19 appearances with Nashville in 2025-26. He's an option to draw into the lineup for Saturday's game against St. Louis, but it's also possible that he'll be a healthy scratch. If Barron does play Saturday, then it will probably be as a member of the third pairing.

Barron (lower body) was designated for injured reserve Friday and is considered week-to-week.

EDGE Analysis

Barron has already been out of action for the Preds' last seven contests and doesn't appear to be close to returning. Considering the 24-year-old blueliner has managed just four points in 19 outings this year, his absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy managers. Even once given the all-clear, Barron could find himself serving as a healthy scratch periodically.

Barron (lower body) won't play Thursday versus the Panthers, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barron remains out on a day-to-day basis with the injury. It's unclear if he'll get back into the lineup immediately once healthy, thanks to the strong play of Nick Blankenburg recently. The Predators face the Hurricanes on Saturday.

Barron (lower body) won't play versus the Flames on Tuesday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barron's injury was first reported Monday, though he'll be out of the lineup for a sixth straight game Tuesday. The 24-year-old is joined by Nick Perbix (upper body) as injured blueliners for Nashville. Adam Wilsby will enter the lineup to help pick up the slack. Even when healthy, there's no guarantee Barron will be active.

Barron is considered day-to-day due to a lower-body injury, Max Herz of 102.5 The Game Nashville reports Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Barron hasn't appeared in any of the Predators' last five games, and he was absent for a morning skate last week. It's unclear whether his absences were related to his injury, as Roman Josi returned to action against the Avalanche on Nov. 22. Across 19 appearances this year, Barron has recorded four assists, 22 blocked shots, 13 hits and six PIM while averaging 15:08 of ice time.

Barron managed an assist and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Barron earned his first point in seven contests when he helped out on a Tyson Jost goal in the first period. The 23-year-old Barron remains in a third-pairing role for now, but he hasn't done much to impress so far. He's supplied four shots on net, 10 blocks, four hits and a minus-1 rating. Barron could be at risk of losing ice time to Nick Blankenburg or Nicolas Hague (upper body) in the near future.

Barron scored a goal and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Barron posted two goals, two assists, 14 shots on net, 14 blocked shots, 13 hits and a minus-6 rating over eight games in April. He received steady playing time with the Predators after he was traded from the Canadiens in December. The results were mixed -- Barron totaled six goals, seven assists, a minus-18 rating, 73 shots on net, 80 hits and 83 blocked shots over 62 appearances between the two teams this season. The 23-year-old is under contract for 2025-26, but so are six other blueliners on Nashville's NHL roster.

Barron notched an assist and four hits in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Barron's offense has slowed down lately -- he has two points over six outings in April, but he had just one assist over 15 games in March. The 23-year-old is still seeing significant playing time due to numerous injuries on the Predators' blue line. Barron is at 11 points, 72 shots on net, 79 hits, 79 blocked shots and a minus-20 rating over 60 appearances between Nashville and Montreal this season.

Barron scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 8-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Barron ended a 12-game point drought with the tally. He had 16 shots on net, 18 hits and 16 blocked shots in that span, and he also kept an even plus-minus rating. The 23-year-old defenseman has grown his responsibility during his time in Nashville following a December trade from Montreal. He's now at 10 points, 62 shots on net, 71 blocked shots, 68 hits and a minus-12 rating over 55 appearances between the two teams this season.
