McGinn recorded an assist in each of his past two games before being held without a point Sunday against the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Determined to be more than just a throw-in in the trade for Ryan O'Reilly, McGinn has worked his way into the Sabres' top-six, using his aggressiveness and tenacity to create offense, recording at least four shots on goal in three of his past five games. Other than playing just 14:27 against Chicago last Friday, McGinn has played at least 15 minutes per game since early December, and is on pace to at least match his career-high of 38 points.
