McGinn will play alongside No. 1 center O'Reilly against Calgary on Thursday, reports The Buffalo News.

EDGE Analysis

McGinn, in the midst of a career-high six-game point streak, will take Evander Kane's spot on O'Reilly's left wing. Head coach Dan Bylsma is in search of an offensive spark and will reunite Kane with Jack Eichel, leaving McGinn and Sam Reinhart with O'Reilly. McGinn is not a noted scorer but goes to the hard areas and creates a lot of room for his linemates, and combined with O'Reilly and Reinhart's on-ice smarts, the trio should be able to capitalize against a Flames team that allows a lot of shots and goals. McGinn is a short-term plug for fantasy owners at this point given his top-six role, but shouldn't be considered a regular roster player.
