Barron gives Jets huge lift by returning from scary injury in win



Summarize this content to 300 words LAS VEGAS — “Look at that battle scar.” Jets forward Mark Scheifele couldn’t help but send some love Morgan Barron’s way from a distance as he talked in the locker-room, which was his way of showing appreciation for one of those stories that could end up in hockey lore, being told for years to come. There was Barron, surrounded by a throng of reporters, blood trickling slowly around a stitched-up right eye, the result of a scary situation that required more than 75 stitches to sew up. Jets centre Adam Lowry expressed his gratitude for his linemate coming back into the game after Barron was cut by the skate blade of Vegas Golden Knights goalie Laurent Brossoit during a mad scramble late in the first period on Tuesday. “It looked like he got attacked by a shark, to be honest,” said Lowry, who scored twice as the Jets earned a tidy 5-1 victory over the Golden Knights at T-Mobile Arena in the playoff opener for both teams. “It’s a scary thing. We’re all so worried about the puck crossing the line and then all of a sudden we see a trail of blood basically from the crease all the way to the bench. You don’t know what happened. You assume a stick, but seeing the replay and hearing about it in the intermission, and hearing the number of stitches he was getting. I thought they said 15, not 50-plus.  “To sit on the table, get stitched up and miss basically an hour of action and come back, speaks volumes to his heart. It’s tough to come back when you’ve sat that long.” var adServerUrl = “”; var $el = $( “#video_container-449600” ); var permalink = $el.closest(‘.snet-single-article’).data(‘permalink’); /* if ( “1” == true && ‘undefined’ !== typeof window.getIndexAds ) { var so = {preroll:{1:{1:{siteID:191888},2:{siteID:191889}}}}; adServerUrl = window.getIndexAds( ‘http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ads?sz=640×360&cust_params=domain%3Dsportsnet.ca&iu=%2F7326%2Fen.sportsnet.web%2FVideo&ciu_szs=300×250&impl=s&gdfp_req=1&env=vp&output=vast&unviewed_position_start=1&ad_rule=1&vid=6325357421112&cmsid=384’, so, permalink); } else { adServerUrl = “http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ads?sz=640×360&cust_params=domain%3Dsportsnet.ca&iu=%2F7326%2Fen.sportsnet.web%2FVideo&ciu_szs=300×250&impl=s&gdfp_req=1&env=vp&output=vast&unviewed_position_start=1&ad_rule=1&vid=6325357421112&cmsid=384”; } */ adServerUrl = “http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ads?sz=640×360&cust_params=domain%3Dsportsnet.ca&iu=%2F7326%2Fen.sportsnet.web%2FVideo&ciu_szs=300×250&impl=s&gdfp_req=1&env=vp&output=vast&unviewed_position_start=1&ad_rule=1&vid=6325357421112&cmsid=384”; var adServerUrl_result = adServerUrl.includes(“cust_params”); var queryString=”; if(adServerUrl_result){ var gettheDUFI = localStorage.getItem(“theRED_loc”) if(gettheDUFI){ queryString += “dufiid=” + gettheDUFI + ‘&’; queryString += “ppid=” + gettheDUFI + ‘&’; var ppid = “ppid=” + gettheDUFI + ‘&’; } var DUFI_IP = sessionStorage.getItem(“DUFI_IP”) if(DUFI_IP){ queryString += “dufiip=” + DUFI_IP + ‘&’; } adServerUrl = adServerUrl.replace(/cust_params=/, ppid + ‘cust_params=” + encodeURIComponent(queryString) ); } $el.after( unescape(“%3Cscript src=”” + (document.location.protocol == “https:” ?

Once we knew that, it was good to see him back on the ice, for sure.” There was never a doubt in Barron’s mind he would return to the game either, not with him suiting up in his first Stanley Cup Playoff game and knowing what was at stake. “It’s actually not bad. They did a great job stitching me up and, obviously, it missed my eye. I was glad it didn’t get me in a real bad spot, but they did a great job fixing me up,” said Barron, who was then asked what was going through his mind leading up to the blade catching him just above the right eye. “I was trying to figure out if the puck went in. It was sitting pretty close and, obviously, I saw the skate coming and it was just an unlucky play, a little bit unfortunate. The first thought was ‘I could see out of the eye, so that was the main thing.’” var adServerUrl = “”; var $el = $( “#video_container-911100” ); var permalink = $el.closest(‘.snet-single-article’).data(‘permalink’); /* if ( “1” == true && ‘undefined’ !== typeof window.getIndexAds ) { var so = {preroll:{1:{1:{siteID:191888},2:{siteID:191889}}}}; adServerUrl = window.getIndexAds( ‘http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ads?sz=640×360&cust_params=domain%3Dsportsnet.ca&iu=%2F7326%2Fen.sportsnet.web%2FVideo&ciu_szs=300×250&impl=s&gdfp_req=1&env=vp&output=vast&unviewed_position_start=1&ad_rule=1&vid=6325354168112&cmsid=384’, so, permalink); } else { adServerUrl = “http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ads?sz=640×360&cust_params=domain%3Dsportsnet.ca&iu=%2F7326%2Fen.sportsnet.web%2FVideo&ciu_szs=300×250&impl=s&gdfp_req=1&env=vp&output=vast&unviewed_position_start=1&ad_rule=1&vid=6325354168112&cmsid=384”; } */ adServerUrl = “http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ads?sz=640×360&cust_params=domain%3Dsportsnet.ca&iu=%2F7326%2Fen.sportsnet.web%2FVideo&ciu_szs=300×250&impl=s&gdfp_req=1&env=vp&output=vast&unviewed_position_start=1&ad_rule=1&vid=6325354168112&cmsid=384”; var adServerUrl_result = adServerUrl.includes(“cust_params”); var queryString=”; if(adServerUrl_result){ var gettheDUFI = localStorage.getItem(“theRED_loc”) if(gettheDUFI){ queryString += “dufiid=” + gettheDUFI + ‘&’; queryString += “ppid=” + gettheDUFI + ‘&’; var ppid = “ppid=” + gettheDUFI + ‘&’; } var DUFI_IP = sessionStorage.getItem(“DUFI_IP”) if(DUFI_IP){ queryString += “dufiip=” + DUFI_IP + ‘&’; } adServerUrl = adServerUrl.replace(/cust_params=/, ppid + ‘cust_params=” + encodeURIComponent(queryString) ); } $el.after( unescape(“%3Cscript src=”” + (document.location.protocol == “https:” ?

You get hopped up on adrenaline,” said Barron, who finished with five hits. “I was obviously really excited for my first playoff game and just kind of went from there.”  Game 2 is set for Thursday night before the series shifts to Winnipeg for Game 3 on Saturday afternoon. After a scoreless opening period where the Jets did a nice job of limiting the offence generated by the Golden Knights (outside of a few turnovers related to poor puck management), they scored twice on two shots on goal early in the second period to help plant the seed of doubt. Playing without dynamic winger Nikolaj Ehlers, who remains day-to-day with an upper-body injury, the Jets delivered a pair of goals 62 seconds apart to get rolling. There was Pierre-Luc Dubois turning back the clock to the 2020 bubble playoffs, setting up Kyle Connor for the ice breaker and then coming off the bench quickly and ripping a high wrister past Brossoit. var adServerUrl = “”; var $el = $( “#video_container-462239” ); var permalink = $el.closest(‘.snet-single-article’).data(‘permalink’); /* if ( “1” == true && ‘undefined’ !== typeof window.getIndexAds ) { var so = {preroll:{1:{1:{siteID:191888},2:{siteID:191889}}}}; adServerUrl = window.getIndexAds( ‘http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ads?sz=640×360&cust_params=domain%3Dsportsnet.ca&iu=%2F7326%2Fen.sportsnet.web%2FVideo&ciu_szs=300×250&impl=s&gdfp_req=1&env=vp&output=vast&unviewed_position_start=1&ad_rule=1&vid=6325355924112&cmsid=384’, so, permalink); } else { adServerUrl = “http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ads?sz=640×360&cust_params=domain%3Dsportsnet.ca&iu=%2F7326%2Fen.sportsnet.web%2FVideo&ciu_szs=300×250&impl=s&gdfp_req=1&env=vp&output=vast&unviewed_position_start=1&ad_rule=1&vid=6325355924112&cmsid=384”; } */ adServerUrl = “http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ads?sz=640×360&cust_params=domain%3Dsportsnet.ca&iu=%2F7326%2Fen.sportsnet.web%2FVideo&ciu_szs=300×250&impl=s&gdfp_req=1&env=vp&output=vast&unviewed_position_start=1&ad_rule=1&vid=6325355924112&cmsid=384”; var adServerUrl_result = adServerUrl.includes(“cust_params”);…
