McCann registered an assist in Saturday's shootout win over Los Angeles.

EDGE Analysis

McCann ended a four-game pointless streak but still hasn't found the back of the net in nine straight. The center logged 4:17 of ice time with the man advantage, second highest on the team behind Kris Letang. Once the Penguins get Evgeni Malkin (illness) and Sidney Crosby (groin) back into the lineup, the 23-year-old McCann could find himself relegated to a third-line role and bumped down to the No. 2 power-play unit.

EDGE Analysis

McCann's night began with a secondary assist on Alex Galchenyuk's power-play goal in the first period. He would add a goal of his own in the second frame, the two points moving McCann up to 16 points through 22 contests this season. The 23-year-old is almost certainly going to pass his career mark of 35 points in a season, needing just 20 more points over the remainder of the year to eclipse his personal best from 2018-19.

McCann scored a goal on four shots and had two PIM in Friday's 4-1 win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

McCann provided an insurance goal early in the third period to extend Pittsburgh's lead to 3-1. It was McCann's eighth goal in 21 games this season, putting him on track to eclipse the career-high 19 goals he had in 78 games a year ago. McCann has been particularly productive in November, reaching the scoresheet in seven of 10 games and totaling nine points.

McCann scored his sixth goal of the season in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Rangers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

McCann's goal scored midway through the second period came on a Pittsburgh power play and was his first PPG of the 2019-20 season. With Sidney Crosby sidelined due to a lower-body injury, the 23-year-old saw more ice time than he's typically accustomed to and rewarded the gesture with a power-play goal. In the last four games, McCann has found the scoresheet six times (2G, 4A).

McCann finished with a goal and two assists in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

McCann broke open the floodgates by lighting the lamp 1:38 into the third period, and he proceeded to assist on Pittsburgh's next two goals as the team erased a 3-0 deficit to halt the Islanders' win streak at 10 games. This was McCann's second three-point effort of the season, but he has just three points in the other 12 games combined.

McCann earned an assist in Monday's 6-4 defeat to the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Since returning from a lower-body injury, McCann is averaging just 11:42 of ice time, over two minutes less than his season average. Alex Galchenyuk and Evgeni Malkin returning to the lineup has seen McCann dropped into a third-line role, which is no doubt responsible for his drop in ice time. Barring another run of forward injuries, the natural center will be hard pressed to work his way into a top-six role, which limits his fantasy value the rest of the season.

EDGE Analysis

McCann missed Saturday's 3-0 loss to Vegas due to a lower-body issue, but he'll return to a top-six role as well as a spot on the Penguins' second power-play unit against Florida. The 23-year-old has picked up three goals and four points in seven games this campaign.
