McCann (lower body) was briefly spotted on the ice prior to Monday's practice, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCann looks poised to complete some kind of workout Monday, though it's not clear if he'll stick around when the Penguins' healthy players arrive for practice. The center missed Saturday's 3-0 loss to Vegas with the injury and isn't certain to be ready play Tuesday versus Florida.

McCann missed Saturday's game against the Golden Knights with an undisclosed injury. Following the game, head coach Mike Sullivan did not provide an update on his status.

EDGE Analysis

McCann has missed two of Pittsburgh's last three games. His last absence came due to a lower-body injury, but this most recent issue may or may not be related to that. Until the Penguins put a timeline on a return, his status for Tuesday's game remains up in the air.

McCann (lower body) will rejoin the lineup for Friday's game against the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

McCann will handle his usual duties as the second-line center, slotting in alongside Dominik Kahun and Patric Hornqvist. He'll also presumably work on the second power-play unit, though it hasn't proved particularly fruitful in the early going. McCann has failed to tally a point in the five games besides his three-point outburst versus the Blue Jackets on Oct. 5.

McCann (lower body) isn't sure if he'll be able to play Friday against the Stars, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCann returned to practice Thursday after missing Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Avalanche, but it appears as though his status for Friday's contest may boil down to a game-time decision. If he's able to go, the 23-year-old should return to a top-six role and a spot on the second power-play unit against Colorado.

McCann (lower body) wasn't present for warmups and won't play in Wednesday's game against the Avalanche, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCann's absence leaves the team with just 11 healthy forwards, so they'll roll with seven defensemen. Dominik Simon is slated to take McCann's spot on the second power-play unit, while Sam Lafferty will center the second line at even strength. Defenseman Jusso Riikola may play left wing on the fourth line in this matchup.

McCann (lower body) is considered a game-time decision for Wednesday's tilt against the Avalanche, Rob Rossi of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCann received the day-to-day label Tuesday, so his status as a game-time decision doesn't come as a shock. Given that the Penguins are already down four forwards due to injury, McCann will likely give it a go if he's anywhere close to 100 percent. Justin Almeida may be the primary candidate to join the lineup if he can't go, while Sam Lafferty replaced him as the second-line center during Tuesday's practice.

McCann is considered day-to-day with a lower-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

McCann becomes the fifth Penguins forward to be battling an injury and his status is likely in doubt for at least Wednesday's game against the Avalanche. The team should confirm his status ahead of the tilt, but it' worth noting that Sam Lafferty was filling in at his spot during Tuesday's practice.

McCann scored two goals and an assist in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

All three points came in the second period as the Pens broke out for five goals, and McCann added three shots, two hits and a plus-2 rating to his haul for the night. The 23-year-old scored a career-high 19 goals and 35 points last season, but he could be poised to blow past those marks in 2019-20 -- he's seen more than two minutes of ice time on the power play in each of Pittsburgh's first two games after averaging less than a minute of PP time last year.

McCann notched a goal in Tuesday's World Championship tuneup game versus Austria.

EDGE Analysis

McCann was a late addition to the Team Canada roster, but likely cemented his spot in the lineup with his performance. The Ontario native was a solid addition to the Penguins at the trade deadline, as he racked up 11 goals and six helpers in 32 appearances. The natural center could find himself on Sidney Crosby's wing next season, which would bolster his fantasy value.

McCann will join Team Canada for the 2019 IIHF World Championship.

EDGE Analysis

McCann was arguably the best trade acquisition for general manager Jim Rutherford this season, as he racked up 11 goals (three shorthanded) and six assists in 32 regular-season appearances for the Pens. The natural center spent some time on Sidney Crosby's line and could find himself there to start the 2019-20 campaign, which would bolster his fantasy value.
