McBain notched an assist and six hits in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
McBain has a point in each of the last two games after going three contests without a point. The 24-year-old's been decent on offense for much of the last month, earning him a spot on the second line after he began the year firmly in a fourth-line role. He's up to nine goals, four helpers, 22 shots on net, 84 hits, 39 PIM and a plus-9 rating over 27 appearances, and he's on track for a career year on offense.

McBain scored a goal Saturday in a 5-2 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
McBain has been skating on Utah's second line with Logan Cooley and Dylan Guenther, and he's delivering points on a career pace. Now, it's safe to say that his goal pace will cool -- McBain has nine goals on 21 shots, a 42.9 percent success rate. Still, he has put up 26 points in each of his last two seasons while in lesser roles, and he already has 12 points in 26 games. A mid-30s point total, along with close to 250 hits, make McBain a decent fantasy play in deep speciality formats.

McBain scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
McBain has scored in three straight games and has a total of eight goals this season, matching his total from 2023-24. He's four off his career high from 2022-23. While the 24-year-old has finished at an elite rate, he's not providing many assists, adding just three of them over 22 appearances this season. The power forward rounds out his stat line with 18 shots on net, 39 PIM, 63 hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating.

McBain scored a goal, added two PIM and logged five hits in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
McBain has scored five times over his last eight outings, and he has a goal in each of the last two games. His third-period tally Sunday got Utah within one, but they couldn't complete the comeback effort. The 24-year-old power forward is up to seven goals, 10 points, 16 shots on net, 39 PIM, 62 hits and a plus-4 rating through 21 contests. His recent success on offense has lifted him into a second-line role alongside Logan Cooley and Dylan Guenther, so McBain will have some appeal as a depth scorer and agitator.

McBain scored a goal and added seven hits in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
McBain opened the scoring at 8:54 of the first period. He's primarily been a fourth-liner in 2024-25, but he was on the second line Saturday. The 24-year-old has four goals, 11 PIM and 20 hits over his last seven contests to earn a larger role. He's up to six goals, three assists, 57 hits, 37 PIM, 15 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through 20 outings overall.

McBain scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and logged seven PIM in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
McBain drew the Capitals' ire in many ways Monday. He scored just 3:05 into the game, but he was also responsible for forcing Alex Ovechkin (lower leg) out of the game after the two collided in the third period. McBain later had to answer to Tom Wilson in a fight for that hit. It's been a productive few weeks for McBain, who has three goals and two assists over his last eight contests. He's managed five goals, three helpers, 14 shots on net, 33 PIM, 49 hits and a plus-3 rating through 18 outings overall.

McBain scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
McBain didn't have to do too much to score his fourth goal of the season, as he took advantage of an outstanding individual effort from Michael Kesselring and simply had to tap the puck home from close range. McBain has seven points this season. The lack of consistency amid his bottom-six role remains an issue for his fantasy upside, but he's trending in the right direction of late with points in four of his last six contests.

McBain scored a goal on his only shot in Thursday's 4-2 win over St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
McBain tallied an empty-net goal to seal the win for Utah at 19:56 of the third period. The 24-year-old has picked up points in three of his last four outings after being held off the scoresheet in the previous five. Given his fourth-line role, McBain has been productive through 14 games -- he's chipped in three goals, three assists and a plus-2 rating. The left-shot forward's three goals have come on 10 shots this season, so his shooting percentage will more than likely decrease as the campaign rolls along.

McBain registered an assist, seven PIM and six hits in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
McBain was busy in the first period, as he helped out on a Logan Cooley tally and then fought Vegas enforcer Keegan Kolesar. McBain is no stranger to the rough stuff -- he has 26 PIM and 35 hits to go along with five points through 12 contests this season. The 24-year-old is playing in a fourth-line role, and while that hasn't hurt his offense much yet, it could limit his scoring chances throughout the campaign.

McBain registered an assist and three hits in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
McBain snapped a five-game slump when he helped out on Maveric Lamoureux's first NHL tally. The 24-year-old McBain continues to play in a fourth-line role, so it's not surprising to see his offense be inconsistent. He has four points, eight shots on net, 19 PIM, 29 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 11 contests.
