McGinn will be a game-time decision versus Ottawa on Monday due to an undisclosed issue, Michael Smith of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

McGinn has appeared in all 17 games for the 'Canes this season in a bottom-six role. The Ontario native has notched one goal, three assists and 25 shots while averaging 13:07 of ice time that includes 1:50 shorthanded. If McGinn can't give it a go, the club will likely carry Haydn Fleury as a seventh defenseman.

McGinn scored a shorthanded goal for his fourth point of the season in Friday's 7-3 thumping of the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

With the additions of Erik Haula and Ryan Dzingel to the Canes' lineup this season, McGinn has been relegated to mostly fourth-line duty, averaging significantly less ice time compared to last season (13:35 vs. 14:19). After scoring 26 and 30 points, respectively, in the past two seasons, don't be surprised if McGinn falls well short of those totals this year.

McGinn had an assist, two shots and a pair of hits in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

McGinn has three assists, nine shots on goal and 10 hits through eight games this season. The 25-year-old's career high in points is 30, set in 80 games during the 2017-18 campaign.

McGinn notched an assist for the second straight game in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

McGinn fell just four points short of the 30-point plateau last season, but he could be poised to blow well past that mark this year if he continues to see time on the second line opposite Jordan Staal and Andrei Svechnikov. He makes for an intriguing pickup in deep fantasy formats right now.

McGinn and the Hurricanes agreed to a two-year, $4.2 million contract Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

McGinn filed for arbitration July 1 after receiving a qualifying offer from Carolina. The 25-year-old notched 26 points (10 goals, 16 assists) over 82 games in 2018-19. With a new deal in place, McGinn will likely continue his role on Carolina's fourth line in 2019-20.

McGinn has filed for salary arbitration, Michael Smith of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

McGinn had another solid season in 2018-19, notching 10 goals and 26 points while posting a plus-10 rating in 82 games, so it's understandable that he's looking for a raise heading into 2019-20. General manager Don Waddell is confident that he'll be able to come to terms with McGinn either through negotiations or through an arbitrator, but either way, it's safe to assume the 25-year-old will be returning to his role on the Hurricanes' fourth line for the upcoming campaign.

McGinn received a qualifying offer from the Hurricanes on Tuesday, Chip Alexander of the Raleigh News & Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

McGinn made a lasting memory for both himself and the Hurricanes franchise by scoring the Game 7 double-overtime winner in Carolina's first playoff series this decade. It's no surprise the team wants him back after that accomplishment.

McGinn provided the game-winning goal in double overtime to sink the Capitals in Game 7 of the first round Wednesday. He also added an assist in the thriller.

EDGE Analysis

McGinn deflected a Justin Williams shot from a tight angle for the biggest goal of his four-year NHL career. The top-six winger doesn't see action on the power play, thus limiting his appeal in fantasy playoff games, but he found the scoresheet in three of the seven contests in Round 1.

McGinn tallied a goal, an assist, two shots and five hits during Monday's 5-0 victory in Game 3 against the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

McGinn's tally salted the game for the Canes who were simply unstoppable in a must-win game on home ice. The 25-year-old winger is up to two points in three games thus far in the playoffs.

McGinn scored a goal and an assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

The 'Canes scored two power-play goals and one short-handed tally on the afternoon and McGinn didn't factor into any of them, which just about sums up his role on the club. The 25-year-old winger had only one point (an assist) in his prior 12 games, and on the season he has a meager 10 goals and 24 points through 78 contests.
