McCarron scored a goal, added three hits and blocked two shots in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Capitals.
McCarron has picked up three points over his last six outings. While he's listed on the second line, he's been under 15 minutes of ice time in four straight games. McCarron has two goals, five helpers, 31 shots on net, 47 hits, 15 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 16 appearances this season. He's a better source of toughness than scoring.

McCarron scored a goal and added two hits in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Flames.
McCarron's tally at 4:39 of the third period spoiled Devin Cooley's shutout bid. The 31-year-old McCarron has been a constant in the Wild's bottom six to start the year. He's earned a goal, four assists, 18 shots on net, 32 hits, 11 blocked shots, seven PIM and a plus-4 rating through 11 appearances. McCarron is a decent roster candidate for banger leagues, but his offense isn't likely to stay at this level throughout the campaign.

McCarron signed a six-year, $19.8 million contract with the Wild on Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
After being dealt from Nashville to Minnesota prior to the trade deadline in March, McCarron supplied three goals, five points, 23 shots, 40 hits, 17 blocks and a minus-1 rating while averaging 12:40 of ice time over 20 regular-season games. Now that the 31-year-old has some security in the form of a long-term deal, McCarron is set to be a staple in the Wild's bottom six going forward. The 6-foot-6 forward won't warrant much attention in the fantasy realm, but he should continue to be a steady source of hits if managers need help in that category.

McCarron scored a goal and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Stars in Game 5.
McCarron's goal at 7:47 of the third period stood as the game-winner. The veteran center has earned two goals, five shots on net, 14 hits, five blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over five contests in this first-round playoff series so far. McCarron was bumped up to the third line for Game 5, as Danila Yurov and Nico Sturm came out of the lineup to make room for wingers Mats Zuccarello and Yakov Trenin each returning from upper-body injuries. McCarron's spot in the lineup isn't in jeopardy, but he's firmly a bottom-six forward.

McCarron scored a goal and added three hits in Wednesday's 4-3 double-overtime loss to the Stars in Game 3.
McCarron's goal put the Wild ahead 3-2 late in the second period, but they couldn't maintain the lead. This was McCarron's first career playoff goal -- prior to this postseason, he had never recorded a point in nine playoff outings over three different campaigns. The 31-year-old was able to produce 17 points over 79 regular-season contests between the Wild and the Predators, and the Wild traded for him to stabilize their fourth line, so he should see plenty of playing time in that role.

McCarron scored a shorthanded goal on three shots and added two hits in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Blues.
McCarron has scored in back-to-back games. He played on the third line Monday as the Wild rotated many players out of the lineup, but he'll be a fourth-line fixture come playoff time. He's earned eight goals, 17 points, 107 shots on net, 203 hits, 77 blocked shots, 91 PIM and a minus-16 rating over 78 outings between the Wild and the Predators this season.
