Barron scored a goal in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Avalanche. Barron ended a six-game point drought with a tally that tied the game at 1-1 midway through the second period. The 26-year-old forward might have been at risk of losing playing time since Mason Appleton (lower body) was back in action Wednesday,

Appleton is projected to serve on the fourth line alongside Morgan Barron and David Gustafsson. Adam Lowry will exit the lineup due to an upper-body injury.
