McCann recorded a power-play assist, two shots on net and four blocked shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

McCann's power-play prowess was displayed again when he earned an assist on the first of Jake Guentzel's two goals in the third period. The 24-year-old McCann is at 21 points through 29 appearances, with nine of those points coming with the man advantage. The center has added 63 shots and a plus-7 rating, although the four blocks he posted Sunday isn't typical. He's blocked multiple shots in only two games this year and has just 13 total.

McCann scored a goal and an assist, both on the power play, in Friday's 6-4 win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old continues to make an impact with the man advantage. McCann has racked up six goals and 10 points over the last nine games, with most of that production (five goals and two helpers) coming on the power play. On the season, he has 11 goals and 20 points through 28 contests in a breakout campaign.

McCann registered two assists in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

McCann, who centered Pittsburgh's makeshift second line between Zach Aston-Reese and Evan Rodrigues, set up tallies by Evan Rodrigues and Bryan Rust (PP) to support the Penguins' onslaught. It was the second straight multi-point effort by McCann, who scored a pair of goals Thursday against Buffalo. The 24-year-old has 15 points and a plus-12 rating in 22 games this season.

Per Josh Getzoff of PensTV, McCann (upper body) has been activated off injured reserve, indicating he'll return to the lineup Saturday against New Jersey.

EDGE Analysis

McCann is expected to skate on the Penguins' second line and second power-play unit Saturday. He's picked up 10 points through 17 games this season.

McCann (upper body) will be a game-time decision for Saturday's clash with the Devils. Coach Mike Sullivan told reporters, "Jared McCann skated in a full capacity today, full contact. He will be a game-time decision tomorrow."

EDGE Analysis

McCann's potential return would be a huge boost for the Penguins, as they'll be without Evgeni Malkin (lower body) for at least a week if not longer. In addition to taking over as the No. 2 center, McCann should be expected to link up with the second power-play unit. Prior to getting hurt, the 24-year-old Ontario native garnered five points in his previous six outings. In order to suit up Saturday, McCann will need to be activated off injured reserve.

McCann (upper body) won't be an option against the Devils on Thursday but has been cleared for full contact.

EDGE Analysis

With Evgeni Malkin (lower body) sidelined, the Penguins could really use McCann in the lineup to step into the second-line center role. Instead, it seems Evan Rodrigues figures to be tasked with that responsibility. Prior to getting hurt, the 24-year-old McCann was starting to produce offensively with three goals and two assists in his last six contests.

McCann (upper body) won't play in Tuesday's game versus the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

McCann was considered a game-time decision, but he'll miss a fifth straight game. The 24-year-old's next chance to play is Thursday against the Devils. Evan Rodrigues will continue to skate on the second line in McCann's place.

McCann (upper body) will be a game-time call ahead of Tuesday's clash with Boston, Pens Inside Scoop reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCann will likely retake his spot on the second line alongside Evgeni Malkin and Kasperi Kapanen once given the green light to resume playing. While officially a game-time decision, McCann will need to be activated off injured reserve in order to play, which will be a clear indication of his availability against the Bruins.

McCann (upper body) skated solo Monday but won't be an option against Boston.

EDGE Analysis

McCann will be on the shelf for his fourth straight contest due to his upper-body issue. Considering the Penguins are set to play five times over the next seven days, McCann may be hard-pressed to work his way back into the lineup given the limited practice opportunities.

McCann (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

McCann will have to miss a minimum of three games -- he's already been out for one. His earliest eligibility to return is Monday versus the Bruins.
