Barron notched an assist, four shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Barron missed three games due to an upper-body injury. The 27-year-old forward has been a versatile option for the Jets this season, though he's most often worked on the fourth line. He's up to 15 points so far -- matching his regular-season total from 74 games a year ago. He's added 62 shots on net, 85 hits, 21 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-7 rating over 37 appearances, putting him on track for a career year.

Barron (upper body) will be in action versus the Wild on Thursday, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barron returns following three games on the shelf due to his upper-body injury. Prior to getting hurt, the 27-year-old winger was stuck in a seven-game goal drought during which he generated 14 shots and two helpers. With Barron reclaiming a spot on the fourth line, youngster Danny Zhilkin will serve as a healthy scratch.

According to head coach Scott Arniel, Barron (upper body) "could be a player" for Thursday's clash with Minnesota, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barron has missed the Jets' last three outings due to his upper-body issue, but he seems to be trending in the right direction. Prior to getting hurt, the 27-year-old winger was mired in a seven-game goal drought during which he generated two helpers, 14 shots and 16 hits.

Barron (upper body) is not expected to be available for Tuesday's home contest against the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Barron is set to miss his third consecutive game Tuesday. The 27-year-old had picked up the pace over the last month prior to getting hurt, producing four goals, three helpers, 26 shots, 36 hits and a plus-5 rating across a 13-game stretch. Barron's next opportunity to get back into the lineup will be in Minnesota on Thursday.

Barron (upper body) is not in warmups and will not play Sunday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barron did not play in Friday's game against the Kings due to injury, and he won't suit up for Sunday's game against the Devils either. The 27-year-old remains day-to-day with the injury as of now with his next chance to make a return Tuesday against the Islanders. He has 14 points (seven goals, seven assists) in 36 games this season.

Barron (undisclosed) will not play Friday versus the Kings, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barron's injury is unknown, but it'll be enough to cost him at least one game. The 27-year-old will be replaced in the lineup by Vladislav Namestnikov, who was a healthy scratch Thursday versus the Oilers.

Barron distributed an assist, put three shots on net and recorded four hits in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Barron recorded a goal and added seven hits in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Mammoth.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Barron scored a shorthanded goal on two shots in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.
