Top Michael McCarron News

  • Predators' Michael McCarron: Finds twine Sunday

    McCarron scored a goal on four shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.

    The 28-year-old tallied at 8:43 of the third period, and his goal stood as the game-winner. It was McCarron's first goal since Jan. 29, though the forward has four points over his last six outings. For the season, the fourth-liner has career highs in goals (eight), points (16), shots on net (55), PIM (77) and blocked shots (34) while adding a plus-2 rating and 100 hits through 47 appearances.

  • Predators' Michael McCarron: Generates assist

    McCarron notched an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

    McCarron has a helper in three of his last five games. He's been a lineup regular for most of the season, playing in a fourth-line role. The steady playing time has helped him earn a career-high 15 points through 46 appearances. The 28-year-old also has 99 hits, 77 PIM and 51 shots on net on the year.

  • Predators' Michael McCarron: Sees shot tipped in

    McCarron notched an assist and six hits in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights.

    McCarron's attempt was tipped in by Cole Smith late in the second period. This was McCarron's second helper in the last three games. The fourth-liner hasn't been the steadiest scorer, producing 14 points over 44 appearances. He has, however, added an element of grit for the Predators with 93 hits, 75 PIM and a minus-1 rating, and he's more or less been a regular in the lineup since November.

  • Predators' Michael McCarron: Secures two-year extension

    McCarron inked a two-year, $1.8 million contract extension with Nashville on Friday.

    McCarron will see a slight uptick in salary compared to his current $775,000 cap hit. The 28-year-old center needs just two more points to set a new personal best and could top the 20-point threshold for the first time in his seven-year NHL career this season.

  • Predators' Michael McCarron: Earns two assists Tuesday

    McCarron notched a pair of helpers in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Anaheim.

    McCarron is just four points shy of setting a new career best through just 31 games this season, having tallied six goals and five assists. The 28-year-old winger will continue to offer little fantasy appeal in his fourth-line role.

  • Predators' Michael McCarron: Scores sixth goal of 2023-24

    McCarron found the back of the net in a 6-3 loss to Calgary on Thursday.

    McCarron's marker came early in the third period to narrow the Flames' lead to 5-3, but the Predators weren't able to turn that into a rally. It was his sixth goal and ninth point in 29 outings this season. McCarron serves as a fourth-line center, so his offensive contributions come sporadically. Fantasy managers should note his significant contributions in PIM and hits, though -- the 28-year-old has 52 and 48, respectively.

  • Predators' Michael McCarron: Pots fifth goal

    McCarron scored the opening goal and added four PIM, three blocked shots, one hit, one shot on net and a minus-1 rating in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Stars.

    The veteran checking-line center earned his fifth goal of the season the hard way. McCarron got knocked down in front of the Dallas net early in the second period, only for Ryan McDonagh's slapshot to hit him in the back of the helmet and trickle across the goal line. McCarron is two tallies short of tying his career high of seven, but he has a meager eight points in 24 games.

  • Predators' Michael McCarron: Two goals in win

    McCarron netted two goals in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over Pittsburgh.

    After scoring just one goal through his first 11 games this season, McCarron opened the scoring midway through the first period, deflecting a Tyson Barrie shot, before adding a second tally later in the frame. McCarron would also pick up three hits and a five-minute fighting major in the Nashville win. The 28-year-old forward now has five points (three goals, two assists) along with 20 hits on the campaign while skating on the fourth line.

  • Predators' Michael McCarron: Dishes out three hits in loss

    McCarron was scoreless in Tuesday's 3-2 home loss against the Canucks.

    McCarron ended up with a blocked shot and three hits in just 8:26 of ice time. The 28-year-old right winger has managed just a single assist in three games overall. While McCarron did win all four of his faceoff chances, he's likely to remain in a bottom-six role.

  • Predators' Michael McCarron: Inks one-year deal

    McCarron signed a one-year, $775,000 deal with the Predators on Sunday.

    McCarron was limited to just four points in 32 NHL games, but he racked up 75 hits as well. The 28-year-old should fill a depth role with the team again next season.

    McCarron found the back of the net in Nashville's 3-0 win over Carolina on Thursday.

    McCarron didn't record a point over his previous 21 contests. Through 28 games this season, he has two goals and an assist. McCarron is sometimes a healthy scratch for Nashville and has also logged 16 contests (two goals, six points) with AHL Milwaukee in 2022-23. When he is in the lineup for the Predators, it's typically as a fourth-liner.

  • Predators' Michael McCarron: Called up from minors

    McCarron was elevated from AHL Milwaukee on Tuesday.

    McCarron figures to immediately step into the lineup against the Bruins on Tuesday after Juuso Parssinen (upper body) stayed back in Nashville for the team's two-game road trip. The 28-year-old McCarron is pointless in 16 consecutive contests and figures to see limited minutes in a fourth-line role.

    McCarron was called up from AHL Milwaukee on Monday.

    McCarron has seen action in just 15 NHL games this season, in which he recorded one goal, one assist and 34 hits while averaging just 9:50 of ice time. If McCarron gets into the lineup versus Vancouver on Monday, it figures to be in a bottom-six role where he is unlikely to see much in the way of minutes.
