McCartney was assigned to AHL Tucson on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

McCartney spent nearly a week with the NHL club to practice with the Mammoth late in the Olympic break, but he'll head back to the minors to make room on Utah's roster for the team's returning Olympians. McCartney has made 47 appearances for the Roadrunners this year, logging 21 goals, 25 assists and 66 PIM.

McCartney was recalled from AHL Tucson on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

McCartney and several other players were summoned from the Roadrunners to help fill the void in practices during the Olympic break. The 24-year-old has excelled in the minors this season, delivering 21 goals, 46 points and a plus-7 rating across 47 outings.

McCartney scored twice in AHL Tucson's 7-3 win over Calgary on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

McCartney has been excellent this season, and he earned his first 20-goal campaign at the AHL level with this effort. He's now at 43 points, 110 shots on net and 64 PIM over 44 appearances. Should he get a look with the Mammoth, he'd likely add some toughness in a bottom-six role.

McCartney scored a goal and added three assists in AHL Tucson's 5-2 win over Calgary on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

McCartney is on a heater with seven goals and 10 assists over his last 10 outings. The 24-year-old forward is up to 13 goals and 19 assists through 30 contests this season. He's one point shy of his total from 63 regular-season contests last year and three away from matching his career high from 2021-22. McCartney hasn't seen NHL action since that career-best year, but he could be in the mix for a call-up if the Mammoth need forward reinforcements.

McCartney scored two goals and added three assists in AHL Tucson's 8-7 overtime loss to Bakersfield on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

McCartney is heading toward a career year by a wide margin. He's now at 10 goals and 15 helpers through 24 appearances this season, putting him 10 points back of his 2021-22 total. McCartney's a gritty forward who can add a little toughness should he get called up to the Mammoth, though his offense is unlikely to stand out in a bottom-six role with the big club.

McCartney scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in AHL Tucson's 5-4 overtime win over Ontario.

EDGE Analysis

He last played in the NHL with the Coyotes in 2021-22, collecting seven hits and four PIM over two appearances. He posted just 33 points in 63 regular-season outings for the Roadrunners last year.

McCartney was placed on waivers by the Mammoth on Thursday.

McCartney signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Mammoth on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

McCartney had 16 goals, 33 points and 86 PIM across 63 regular-season appearances with AHL Tucson in 2024-25. The 23-year-old hasn't played in the NHL since logging two games with Arizona back in 2021-22, but there's a chance he eventually establishes himself at the top level in a fourth-line role.

Utah placed McCartney on waivers Thursday for the purpose of sending him to AHL Tucson.

EDGE Analysis
