McCarron (upper body) will play in Tuesday's road clash against the Canadiens.
McCarron was sidelined for Saturday's clash against the Lightning after he was forced to exit Friday's game against the Sharks with an upper-body injury. Overall, the 31-year-old center has posted three goals, eight points, a plus-6 rating, 32 shots on net, 53 hits and 17 blocked shots over 18 games this season. He's expected to rejoin Minnesota's fourth line Tuesday in place of Nico Sturm.
