As of January 17, Justin Barron has been one of the most prolific defensemen in the NHL

Posted On: March 25, 2023

Justin Barron proves he has what it takes to become an important part of Canada’s Blue Line. He shows that above all with his ability to get into the scorer list, who since his first point of the season with the Canadian in January has surpassed excellent players like Cale Makar, Victor Hedman or even Roman Josi in a certain chapter. last.

He currently ranks third in points per 60 minutes played for defenders since his first point of the season on Jan. 17. The only defenders to pass him are Dougie Hamilton and Erik Karlsson. Here you can be proud.

What it proves is that Barron is effective even if he doesn’t get as much playing time as many top-flight defenders. He could well be even more productive with more playing time and become an attacking defender of choice in Montreal.

He’s even higher in points per 60 minutes at 5-5 and is second among NHL defensemen as of the same date.

We say “since then,” but it’s still more than two months ago. He managed to make a positive impression on everyone.

The funny thing is that he told TVA Sports’ Anthony Martineau that the attacking aspect of his game wasn’t even an issue during his time at Laval this season.

It’s fascinating to see how sometimes with a simple gesture an athlete can reach a higher level.

Justin Barron is CH’s second-most productive defender as of mid-January. But he goes far.

“It’s funny, but I was trying my hardest to improve my defensive play before I got called back. However, the points have been piling up for a few weeks. – Justin Barron on TVA Sports’ Anthony Martineau

Now it is hoped that Barron will continue to collect as many points for the rest of his career. If Martin St-Louis agrees to give him more playing time, we could even be entitled to a real star attacking defender in Montreal.
