McBain (lower body) was removed from injured reserve Friday, per the NHL media site, which likely means he'll draw into the lineup for the evening's game against San Jose.

EDGE Analysis

McBain hasn't played since Nov. 9. He has four goals, seven points, 11 PIM and 33 hits in 13 contests this year. McBain will probably serve in a bottom-six capacity Friday while Zach Sanford might be a healthy scratch.

McBain (lower body) is still "weeks away" from a return, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

McBain was considered week-to-week when he was placed on injured reserve earlier in November and not much has changed on that front. The 23-year-old had four goals and seven points in 13 games before his injury.

McBain (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

McBain is considered week-to-week, so his placement on the IR list won't impact his timetable. He has accounted for four goals, seven points, 16 shots on net and 33 hits in 13 games this season. In a corresponding move, Arizona recalled Milos Kelemen from AHL Tucson on Monday.

The Coyotes announced Saturday that McBain is week-to-week with a lower-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

McBain sustained the injury during Thursday's 2-1 loss to St. Louis. He has four goals and seven points in 13 contests this season. With McBain unavailable, Travis Boyd drew back into the Coyotes' lineup for Saturday's game versus Nashville.

McBain (lower body) won't play Saturday versus the Predators, per Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports.

EDGE Analysis

McBain, who was injured in Thursday's 2-1 loss to St. Louis, is considered day-to-day. He has four goals, seven points, 16 shots on net and 33 hits in 13 games this season. Travis Boyd will replace McBain in the lineup for Saturday's contest.

McBain registered an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

McBain had gone without a point in the last two contests after erupting for two goals and two assists versus the Blackhawks on Monday. The 23-year-old center set up Liam O'Brien's second-period tally in Saturday's defeat. McBain has four goals, three helpers, 16 shots on net, 30 hits, 11 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 11 appearances this season. He's found a bit of a groove on the fourth line, though that's a role that is likely to lead to inconsistent offense over time.

McBain scored two goals, added two assists, fired six shots on net, posted two hits, went plus-4 and also received a fighting major in Monday's 8-1 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

McBain was a second fight away from a double Gordie Howe hat trick. It was a big performance in the 23-year-old's 100th NHL game, and it tripled his scoring production this season. McBain is up to four goals, two assists, 12 shots on net, 22 hits, seven PIM and a plus-4 rating through eight appearances. He's a fixture in the Coyotes' bottom six, though more big efforts could get him moved up a lineup that's somewhat unproven at center.

McBain scored a goal, levied five hits and added two PIM in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

McBain has tallied in each of the last two games to shake off a five-game skid at the start of the season. The physical center has added 20 hits, six shots on net, two PIM and an even plus-minus rating through seven appearances. McBain saw 15:13 of ice time Friday, his second game over the 15-minute mark. A strong run of play could help him displace Nick Bjugstad from a middle-six role.

McBain scored a goal and added two hits in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

McBain struck early, tallying his first goal of the season at 2:59 of the first period. The 23-year-old has mainly played as the fourth-line center this year after working in the middle six last season -- the arrival of Logan Cooley has negatively impacted McBain's role. Through six contests, McBain has a goal, five shots on net, 15 hits, five blocked shots and a minus-1 rating.

McBain agreed to a two-year, $3.2 million contract with Arizona on Sunday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

McBain and the Coyotes were able to come to terms on a new agreement just before the two sides were scheduled to meet for an arbitration hearing. The 23-year-old forward generated 12 goals, 26 points, 85 shots on net and 304 hits in 82 games last season. McBain will probably occupy a spot in the bottom six during the 2023-24 campaign.
