Jets’ Morgan Barron out day-to-day with lower-body injury
Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg News reports that Winnipeg Jets forward Morgan Barron is day-to-day with a lower-body injury and will not play tomorrow against the Vancouver Canucks.
Barron left Tuesday’s 4-3 victory over the Seattle Kraken halfway through the game. McIntyre reported that “he noticed Barron limping a bit after an early shift.”
Some notes from optional #NHLJets skate today:
-Brossoit starts tomorrow
-Barron (lower body) won’t play, day to day. Not ruled out for Game 1
-All 5 scratches from last night expected to play
-They’ll address potential #MBMoose callups after their game tonight in Milwaukee
The 25-year-old has tallied 11 goals and seven assists for 18 points in 80 games with the Jets this season. Barron joined the Jets in 2021-22 following a trade that sent Andrew Copp to the New York Rangers. Barron has registered 21 goals and 22 assists for 43 points and 58 penalty minutes in 164 games with Winnipeg, he tallied one goal and one assist with the Rangers in 18 games.
