McGinn (upper body) will once again miss out versus the Rangers on Thursday, Josh Yohe of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

McGinn's absence shouldn't come as a surprise considering he was still wearing a non-contact jersey at Wednesday's practice session, according to Pens Inside Scoop. Still, the fact that McGinn has joined the team for practice is certainly a step in the right direction. Even once cleared to play, McGinn figures to offer no more than mid-range fantasy value considering he'll likely slot into a bottom-six role.

McGinn (upper body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Thursday, Seth Rorabaugh of TribLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McGinn will miss his 10th straight game Thursday in Minnesota and he'll be eligible to return as early as Tuesday against Colorado. As of now, it's still unclear when the team expects him to be ready for game action. The 28-year-old has 11 goals and 18 points through 56 games this season.

McGinn (upper body) was able to begin stick handling with both hands Tuesday, Dave Molinari of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

While it's clearly a step in the right direction for McGinn, he remains on the shelf ahead of Tuesday's matchup with the Rangers. Even once cleared to play, the 28-year-old winger is far from a lock for the lineup following the addition of Rickard Rakell and the emergence of Radim Zohorna.

McGinn (upper body) will not be an option against Columbus on Tuesday, Pens Inside Scoop reports.

EDGE Analysis

McGinn will be sidelined for his fifth straight contest due to his lingering upper-body issue. With the 28-year-old winger unavailable, Radim Zohorna figures to step into a fourth-line role alongside Teddy Blueger and Brain Boyle. Once cleared to play, McGinn should be expected to take on that role himself. With the Penguins entering a back-to-back, McGinn will almost certainly be unavailable versus Buffalo on Wednesday as well.

McGinn (upper body) is considered week-to-week, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

McGinn posted an assist in 6:40 of ice time before leaving Friday's game against Vegas. The 28-year-old winger will likely miss at least a few games, including Sunday's tilt with Carolina. He has 18 points through 56 games this season.

McGinn (not injury related) will be in the lineup Saturday against the Sharks, Mike DeFabo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

McGinn (not injury related) will not be in the lineup versus the Kings on Thursday having just left the COVID-19 protocols. Coach Mike Sullivan told reporters, "McGinn is available tonight, but he will not play... The reason is he has been stuck in his hotel room in Dallas for five days."

EDGE Analysis

Despite McGinn not being available Thursday, the fact that he has cleared to protocols should give him time to get back to game speed heading into Saturday's clash with the Sharks. In the meantime, Radim Zohorna and Anthony Angello figure to remain in bottom-six roles while McGinn is sidelined.

McGinn has cleared the NHL's COVID-19 protocols ahead of Thursday night's game against LA, Mike DeFabo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although McGinn's cleared the league's virus protocols, he isn't expected to be in the lineup versus the Kings. It wouldn't, however, be surprising to see him return to action Saturday against San Jose. McGinn's picked up 13 points through 33 contests this season.

The Penguins placed McGinn in COVID-19 protocols Saturday, Mike DeFabo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

McGinn scored on a pass from Teddy Blueger late in the third period to help secure the Penguins' comeback win. With four goals in his last seven outings, McGinn remains a solid depth winger. The Ontario native is at nine tallies, 13 points, 59 shots on net and 51 hits in 32 contests this year. He's already matched his point total from 37 outings last season, and he's on track to reach the 20-point mark for the first time since 2018-19.
