McCann (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

McCann was initially labeled a game-time decision, but this roster move points toward the 29-year-old being in the lineup for the first time since Oct. 18. He should slot into a middle-six role initially, though he'll also see power-play time. McCann is typically one of the Kraken's top scorers when healthy, so fantasy managers should see how he does as he gets back up to speed.

McCann (lower body) will be a game-time call versus the Stars on Wednesday, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCann has been out of action since Oct. 18 versus the Maple Leafs, a stretch of 17 games on the shelf due to his lower-body problem. If the 29-year-old winger is ready to return, he'll need to be activated off injured reserve, which will likely see Oscar Fisker Molgaard returned to AHL Coachella Valley. In limited action this year, McCann showed his offensive upside with three goals and one assist in five outings.

McCann (lower body) participated in Saturday's morning skate and is making progress, Alison Lukan of the Kraken Hockey Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCann will miss his 13th straight game against San Jose on Saturday, but he could accompany the Kraken on the team's upcoming four-game road trip. However, it's unclear if he will return to action during that stretch. He has produced three goals, one assist, 14 shots on net, four blocked shots and seven hits in five appearances this season.

McCann (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

McCann got off to a good start, tallying once in each of his first three games while adding one assist. However, he went scoreless in two outings before missing the last three games. He won't play against Edmonton on Saturday, but he is eligible to be activated from the IR list whenever he is healthy.

McCann (lower body) won't play Thursday versus the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

McCann will miss a third consecutive game due to the injury. The 29-year-old's next chance to play is at home versus the Oilers on Saturday. Berkly Catton continues to fill a top-line role in McCann's absence.

McCann (lower body) won't play against Washington on Tuesday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCann will miss his second straight game, and it's unclear when he will be available to return to the lineup. He has produced three goals, one assist, 14 shots on net, four blocked shots and seven hits across five appearances this season. Berkly Catton will probably get another look on the top line because of McCann's absence.

McCann will not play versus the Flyers on Monday due to a lower-body injury but is considered day-to-day.

EDGE Analysis

McCann hasn't been officially ruled out against the Capitals on Tuesday, but considering the Kraken are entering a back-to-back sat, it certainly doesn't bode well for the veteran winger to suit up in the second contest. With McCann on the shelf, Mason Marchment could be elevated to a first-line role while also shifting up to the No. 1 power-play unit.

McCann produced a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Both points came in the third period as the Kraken grabbed a 4-3 lead, only for the Habs to surge back. McCann has had a fast start to the season while skating on the top line and top power-play unit, putting together a three-game point streak with three goals and a helper.

McCann scored the game-winning goal in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

McCann's goal officially clocked in at 4:56 of the extra session. He added three shots on net and two hits in the contest. The 29-year-old has a pair of goals, six shots, three hits and two blocked shots over two games this season while playing in his usual top-six role. His 22 goals last year were his fewest in a season with the Kraken, and that came on a 10.9 shooting percentage that was also on the low end. McCann could be poised for a bounce-back year as long as the lower-body injury that sidelined him in training camp doesn't rear its head again.

McCann scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

McCann scored the Kraken's third goal at 4:25 of the third period. The 29-year-old saw 18:24 of ice time, which is more than he averaged last year (17:13 per game). McCann missed nearly all of training camp due to a lower-body injury, but it appears the Kraken were just making sure one of their top forwards would be ready for the regular season. He'll be a regular in the top six and on the power play throughout 2025-26.
