McCarron was originally selected 25th overall by the Montreal Canadiens in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. The 27-year-old signed a two-year deal as a UFA with the Predators last summer, and in 15 games this season has one goal and one assist.
Let's hope McCarron receives the treatment he needs and is back on the ice as soon as he's ready!
