McGinn was designated for waivers by Pittsburgh on Tuesday, Greg Wyshynski of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Penguins are hard up against the cap ahead of the trade deadline, so moving McGinn to the minors, or having him claimed by another team, would provide some much need space ahead of Friday. Despite being on waivers, McGinn was still skating in a third-line role ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Nashville, per Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and looks set to still play. Considering McGinn is pointless in 26 straight games, few fantasy players will even notice whether or not he suits up against the Preds.

McGinn has failed to write his name on the scoresheet in 16 straight contests.

EDGE Analysis

McGinn has registered just 20 shots during his slump while averaging 12:55 of ice time. Given his lack of production, the winger could see himself relegated to the press box as a healthy scratch once Kasperi Kapanen (lower body) or Josh Archibald (lower body) is cleared to return.

McGinn scored a goal in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Carolina.

EDGE Analysis

McGinn found the back of the net at 5:03 of the third period to put the Penguins up 2-1, but Carolina rallied after that. It was his ninth goal and 14th point in 31 games this season. The 28-year-old had been limited to two goals and four points in his previous 11 contests.

McGinn scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

McGinn tallied just 1:04 into the game, and the Penguins led for much of the contest en route to the victory. The winger's nose for the net has been strong lately -- he's scored five times in his last seven games, though he hasn't produced an assist in that span. For the season, the 28-year-old is up to six goals, three helpers, 30 shots on net, 23 hits and a plus-6 rating through 19 contests. He's now shooting 20 percent, so his hot streak shouldn't be expected to last a whole lot longer.

McGinn scored a goal during Thursday's 6-4 victory over the host Wild.

EDGE Analysis

After starting the season with just one marker in 12 appearances, McGinn is beginning to produce on the third line with Jeff Carter and Danton Heinen. Both linemates drew assists on the 28-year-old's fifth tally this season, a wrister following a turnover by Mats Zuccarello, giving the Penguins a 5-3, third-period advantage. It was McGinn's only shot against the Wild.

McGinn scored early in the third period during Friday's 4-2 victory over the host Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

McGinn, who has scored in consecutive appearances, effectively used a screen to score the game-winning goal at 1:54 of the third period Friday. Releasing a shot from the right face-off circle, McGinn utilized defenseman Mark Giordano to distort Erik Kallgren's vision just enough to force the Maple Leafs goalie to react awkwardly on his third goal this season. The 28-year-old forward started slowly with one goal in his opening nine games but has five points in his past five outings, including back-to-back game-winning tallies.

McGinn scored a shorthanded goal on four shots in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

McGinn tallied at 12:53 of the second period, burying the goal on a pass from Jeff Carter. Since the start of November, McGinn has a goal and three assists, accounting for all but one of his five points this season. The bottom-six winger has added 19 shots on net, 15 hits and a plus-2 rating through 13 contests.

McGinn scored on his only shot in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

McGinn finds himself on the checking line, albeit playing for a Penguins team that boasts a plus-15 goal differential and sits atop the Metropolitan Division standings. Last season -- which was his first in Pittsburgh -- McGinn put up 12 goals and 10 assists through 64 games, and he's known to be a sneaky source of production for fantasy managers to consider.

McGinn scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and logged five hits in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Rangers in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

McGinn opened the scoring just 1:57 into the contest. He also helped out on Jeff Carter's empty-netter to end the scoring with 1:07 left in the third period. These were McGinn's first two points in three games in the first-round series. The 28-year-old winger should continue to see third-line usage -- he seemed to benefit from the return of Jason Zucker, who joined McGinn and Jeff Carter as a forward trio. McGinn posted 22 points, 99 shots and 94 hits in 64 regular-season games.

McGinn (upper body) will be in the lineup for Tuesday's matchup with the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

McGinn returns following a 15-game stint on the shelf due to his upper-body issue. Prior to his absence, the winger generated just one goal, along with two helpers, in his previous 17 appearances. As such, fantasy players shouldn't be expecting much in the way of offensive contributions from McGinn moving forward.
