EDGE Analysis

McCann will take the spot previously occupied by Henrik Sedin, who is expected to be out through the All-Star break (Jan. 30-31). Known as an intelligent, two-way player, McCann appears to be up for the challenge ahead. "I'm probably going up against their best line and I'm going to take it as a challenge, and I always like a challenge, so it's nice." McCann said Monday. "I'm a competitive guy and I want to play every night, and I want to make the most of it."
