Predators' Justin Barron: Picks up assist in loss

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

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.
