Mandatory Credit: Charles LeClaire-Imagn Images   <\/p>\n<p>Morgan Barron&#8217;s injury-riddled season took a turn for the worse Monday when Winnipeg Jets coach Scott Arniel told the media that the veteran center is week-to-week with a lower-body injury. <\/p>\n<p>Barron, 27, played 12:59 in the Jets&#8217; 3-1 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday and appeared to emerge unscathed, but Arniel said the Nova Scotia, Canada, native was injured in that game. <\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p>In his sixth NHL season, Barron has been out with various ailments, including missing the first month of the season due to an undisclosed injury. Despite the setbacks, the 6&#8217;4&#8243; center has posted a career-high 23 points (11 goals, 12 assists) in 65 games along with a plus\/minus of +5 while averaging 12:48 of ice time.<\/p>\n<p>The timing is tough for the Jets (33-31-12, 78 points), who entered Monday seventh in the Central Division and three points out of the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference with six games left. <\/p>\n<p>Over 321 games with the New York Rangers (2020-22) and Jets (2022-present), Barron has compiled 83 points (41 goals, 42 assists). The Rangers selected him in the sixth round of the 2017 NHL Entry Draft.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p>&#8211;Field Level Media<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mar 21, 2026; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA; Winnipeg Jets center Morgan Barron (36) skates with the puck against the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":544468,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5121],"tags":[5,78,4,77,18,5288],"class_list":{"0":"post-544467","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-winnipeg-jets","8":"tag-hockey","9":"tag-jets","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-winnipeg","12":"tag-winnipeg-jets","13":"tag-winnipegjets"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116360177091486949","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/544467","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=544467"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/544467\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/544468"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=544467"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=544467"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=544467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
