It’s hard to generate all that many impressions as a fourth-line player in hockey, but time and repetitions are precious for Michael McCarron at this stage of his career.
“I didn’t play much. I don’t know what else you want me to say,” McCarron said after his first game of the season. “Played a couple quick shifts in the first then I’m sitting [in the penalty box] for seven minutes. It was a weird game tonight.”
McCarron picked up a fighting major and a boarding penalty early on while playing bottom-six minutes alongside Dale Weise and Michael Pezzetta in his team’s 5-4 shootout win over the Providence Bruins Wednesday night.
