McCann (upper body) is considered day-to-day and won't be available versus the Rangers on Tuesday, Rob Rossi of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCann's absence will stretch the Pens' forward compliment that is already without Jason Zucker (lower body). Prior to getting hurt, McCann was rolling with five points in his previous six contests while in a second-line role. In his stead, Evan Rodrigues, Zach Aston-Reese or Brandon Tanev could all be in line for a top-six spot.

McCann suffered an upper-body injury versus the Rangers on Sunday. Coach Mike Sullivan told reporters, "Jared is being evaluated for an upper-body injury... He's playing really well for us. He's got good offensive instincts. It's discouraging to see him go down with an injury. Hopefully, it won't be too long and we get some positive news."

EDGE Analysis

McCann's potential absence would be a significant blow for the Penguins as they are already without Jason Zucker (lower body). If McCann is unable to play in Tuesday's tilt with New York, Evan Rodrigues would be the most likely candidate to move into a top-six role.

EDGE Analysis

McCann (lower body) was activated from injured reserve ahead of Saturday's game versus the Islanders, Seth Rorabaugh of TribLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to Wes Crosby of NHL.com, McCann is considered a game-time decision still, but he's certainly trending in the right direction. If the 24-year-old cracks the lineup Saturday, he'll likely play on either the second or third line as he looks to build on the five points he posted through the first 11 games.

McCann (lower body) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game versus the Islanders, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCann will need to be activated from injured reserve before cracking the lineup next. The 24-year-old has been solid this season with five points over 11 games, and he could take Jason Zucker's (lower body) spot on Evgeni Malkin's line if he's given the green light.

McCann (lower body) skated in a regular jersey but won't play in Thursday's game versus the Capitals, Seth Rorabaugh of TribLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCann registered two goals on 17 shots, three assists and 11 hits while averaging 11:55 of ice time in 11 appearances this season prior to getting hurt. Once cleared to play, the 24-year-old center may find himself stuck in a fourth-line role now that Zach Aston-Reese is fully fit and gelling again with Teddy Blueger and Brandon Tanev.

McCann (lower body) began solo skating Thursday and is progressing in his recovery.

EDGE Analysis

It was the first time McCann got onto the ice since suffering his lower-body issue against the Islanders on Feb. 6. With the Penguins' third line rolling since the return of Zach-Aston Reese, McCann could find himself relegated to the fourth-line once cleared to return.
