McGinn had a pair of goals to help lead his AHL Charlotte Checkers past the Grand Rapids Griffins on Friday. He now sits tied for team scoring with four points in five games.

EDGE Analysis

McGinn played 21 games with the Hurricanes last season, but scored only four points and had a rather ugly minus-14 rating. He would likely get a look again this season if the Canes run into injury trouble, but don't expect him to produce the same kind of offense at the NHL level that he's generating in the minors. If he does receive a call-up, it would likely be in a checking-line capacity, which severely limits his fantasy value in most formats.
