McGinn (upper body) is expected to miss Carolina's next four games at a minimum, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
McGinn's absence will test the Hurricanes' depth up front, but it won't impact many fantasy lineups, as he's only picked up 13 points through 37 games this campaign.

McGinn (upper body) won't return to the lineup for Thursday's game versus Florida, Michael Smith of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Once cleared to play, McGinn will return to a bottom-six role as well as a spot on Carolina's penalty-killing unit Thursday. He's picked up eight goals and 13 points through 37 games this campaign. Until then, Morgan Geekie figures to remain in the lineup.

McGinn (upper body) won't play Tuesday versus the Panthers, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Hurricanes have yet to release a timetable for McGinn's return, but he'll miss at least one contest with the upper-body injury he suffered during Sunday's game versus the Stars. The 27-year-old winger has notched eight goals and 13 points in 37 games this season.

McGinn has been ruled out of the remainder of Sunday's game versus the Stars with an upper-body injury.
EDGE Analysis
The severity of McGinn's upper-body issue has yet to be revealed, but more information regarding his status should surface prior to Tuesday's rematch with Dallas. The 27-year-old winger has picked up eight goals and 13 points in 36 games this season.

McGinn was held off the scoresheet in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets, giving him just two points in his last 14 games.
EDGE Analysis
Was McGinn's February hot streak (seven goals and 11 points in 11 games) too good to last? Sadly, it's beginning to look that way. Keep in mind, one of the keys to McGinn's recent success was his elevated spot in the lineup -- at one point, he was playing on the top line with Sebastian Aho and Teuvo Teravainen. Currently, however, he's playing on the third line with Jordan Martinook and Warren Foegele, where the scoring opportunities just aren't as plentiful. Bottom line, McGinn clearly should not be one of your fantasy starters right now.

McGinn scored twice and dealt a pair of assists in Monday's 7-3 win over Columbus. He also added three shots with a plus-3 rating.
EDGE Analysis
McGinn matched his career high with four points, his last such outing coming way back in 2016-17. The 26-year-old converted a cross-crease feed to tie the game at 3-3 early in the second period, then he extended Carolina's lead to 6-3 with a deflection in the final frame. He also assisted on goals by Sebastian Aho and Teuvo Teravainen. McGinn is enjoying an incredible month of February, racking up six goals and two assists over his last six games.

McGinn scored a goal on three shots, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
McGinn stretched his goal streak to four contests with his game-tying goal in the last minute of the second period. It's a remarkable run for the 27-year-old winger, who had all of seven goals and 17 points in 68 outings last year. Through 11 contests in 2020-21, McGinn has scored five times on 22 shots while adding 13 hits and a plus-1 rating. The Hurricanes' offense is deep this year, but McGinn probably can't keep up this pace much longer.

McGinn scored a goal on three shots Monday in a 3-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
McGinn dove to swipe the puck into an open net on his backhand, pulling the Hurricanes even at 2-2 with 7:14 left in the second period. It was the third consecutive game with a goal for the 26-year-old, and his fourth tally in the last five contests. McGinn scored just seven goals in 68 games all of last season.

McGinn scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
McGinn has heated up since a move to the top six -- he has goals in consecutive outings and three in his last four games. That accounts for all of his offense through nine appearances. The Ontario native has added 16 shots on net and 12 hits this year. He could be a solid budget option to fill out DFS rosters as long as he's alongside Sebastian Aho on the Hurricanes' top line.

McGinn scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
McGinn struck for his second goal of the year at 5:25 of the third period, tying the game at 4-4. The 27-year-old winger has just the two goals to go with 14 shots and 11 hits in eight contests this season. He's taken on a first-line role alongside Sebastian Aho, but head coach Rod Brind'Amour could shuffle McGinn out of that assignment at any point in time in favor of a more natural scorer like Teuvo Teravainen.
