McCann (upper body) will return to the lineup Friday versus the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

McCann missed one game with the minor injury. He'll skate on a line with Patrick Marleau and Dominik Simon, while Sam Lafferty will head to the press box as a healthy scratch.

McCann will be a game-time decision for Friday's matchup with the Ducks, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCann missed Wednesday's loss to the Kings with an upper-body issue, but whatever held him out of that contest clearly isn't overly serious. Confirmation on his status against Anaheim likely won't surface until the Penguins take the ice for pregame warmups, so fantasy owners considering using him in daily lineups should plan accordingly.

McCann (upper body) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Kings, Josh Getzoff of PensTV reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCann hasn't skated for a couple of days, and the team is evaluating the severity of his upper-body injury. The 23-year-old bounces around the lineup, but his absence opens the door for Evan Rodrigues and Conor Sheary to enter the lineup.

McCann registered a power-play assist in Tuesday's 5-2 rout of the Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

While McCann remains bogged down in a 12-game goal drought, he did pick up four helpers over that stretch. The natural center's inability to find the back of the net certainly isn't for a lack of trying, as he's racked up 33 shots over that stretch. With Evgeni Malkin under the weather, McCann slotted into the second-line center role versus Toronto on Tuesday.

McCann recorded an assist in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

McCann has helpers in back-to-back games yet hasn't scored in his last six outings. The natural center's prolonged scoring drought could further fuel general manager Jim Rutherford to hit the trade market in the hopes of finding a winger to play with Sidney Crosby. If that happens, McCann could move back to the third-line center role.

McCann scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 7-3 victory over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

McCann continued his red-hot pace, as he scored a goal in his third straight game. With the return of Sidney Crosby, the 23-year-old McCann now finds himself lined up as the first-line left wing, instead of his usual center role. Already a solid fantasy play, the Ontario native's assignment alongside Crosby makes him a top-end value option. On the year, Pittsburgh is 11-1-1 when McCann finds the back of the net, so coach Mike Sullivan will no doubt want to keep him rolling.

McCann scored a power-play goal and had a team-leading five shots Sunday in a 4-3 shootout win over Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

McCann opened the scoring less than three minutes into the game, scoring his 13th goal of the season. The 23-year-old, who was a first-round pick of Vancouver in 2014, has really clicked since joining the Penguins; he has 24 goals and 43 points in 75 games since being acquired from Florida during the 2018-19 season.

McCann tallied the game-winning goal in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Avalanche

EDGE Analysis

Matt Murray let in the tying goal by the Avalanche's Matt Calvert in the final minute of the third period. McCann made sure the Penguins would win by scoring in the added frame. It's the 12th goal and 25th point of the season for the 23-year-old, who also has 87 shots on goal, 64 hits and a plus-14 rating in 42 games this season. He's on track for his first 40-point output in his fifth NHL campaign.

McCann scored a goal on two shots and had two PIM in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

McCann converted a 2-on-1 rush four minutes into the first period to pull the Penguins even at 1-1. That was the extent of the offensive for Pittsburgh, which gave up three unanswered Panthers goals after that. McCann's goal was his first in seven games and gave him 11 goals and 24 points in 40 games this season. The 23-year-old has 22 goals in 72 games with Pittsburgh since being acquired during the 2018-19 season. He had 27 goals in 212 career games with Vancouver and Florida prior to that.
