McCann (lower body) wasn't present for warmups and won't play in Wednesday's game against the Avalanche, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCann's absence leaves the team with just 11 healthy forwards, so they'll roll with seven defensemen. Dominik Simon is slated to take McCann's spot on the second power-play unit, while Sam Lafferty will center the second line at even strength. Defenseman Jusso Riikola may play left wing on the fourth line in this matchup.
