McCann clarified that the upper-body injury he was dealing with during the playoffs was in fact a shoulder issue, Sam Kasan of Pens Inside Scoop reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCann was arguably the best trade acquisition pulled off by Jim Rutherford this season, as he tallied 11 goals (three shorthanded) and six helpers in 32 games for the Penguins. The Ontario native should get plenty of opportunities in 2019-20 and could push for the 40-point mark next year after putting up a combined 35 with the Pens and Panthers this season.

EDGE Analysis
McCann was originally slated to miss Sunday's game, but refuting an earlier report, he will slot in on the fourth line and replace Teddy Blueger. The 22-year-old has been solid this campaign, notching 35 points in 78 games.

McCann (upper body) will not play in Sunday's Game 3 matchup against the Islanders, Dave Molinari of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCann was hoping to slot back into the lineup for Game 3 after being a late scratch for Game 2. The Canadian was cross-checked in the back during Game 1 and seemingly hasn't recovered in time for the Penguins' first game at home in the series. Teddy Blueger and Zach Aston-Reese will likely see their roles changed in McCann's absence.

McCann (upper body) is "optimistic" that he'll be available for Sunday's Game 3 against the Islanders, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCann ended up being a last-minute scratch for Friday's Game 2 due to an upper-body injury, but it appears as though he's on track to return to the lineup for Sunday's pivotal contest. However, fantasy owners that are considering deploying McCann in daily contests will need to monitor his status closely, as his availability for Game 3 may not be confirmed until the Penguins take the ice for pregame warmups.

McCann (upper body) was missing from warmups and won't play in Game 2 versus the Islanders on Friday, Jonathan Bombulie of TribLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
During Game 1, McCann was cross-checked in the back by Cal Clutterbuck and he may still be feeling the ill effects of it. McCann has added solid depth to the Penguins since being traded from the Panthers at the deadline. Teddy Blueger will draw into the lineup and Zach Aston-Reese will bump up to the second line to fill McCann's void.

McCann posted a pair of goals, including a beautiful spin-o-rama shorthanded score, which was the game-winner, in a 3-2 victory against the Stars on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The 22-year-old hadn't produced anything since leaving Sidney Crosby's wing a couple games ago and was actually pointless in his last five games before Saturday. But his two goals helped the Penguins pick up two points on a day where just about every team in the Metropolitan race won. His shorthanded marker might be the best goal by any member of the Penguins this season. Despite the scoring drought before Saturday, McCann has 11 goals and 15 points in 26 games with the Penguins. Overall, he has 19 goals and 33 points in 72 games this season.

McCann notched a goal and an assist versus the Capitals on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
In just 20 games with the Penguins, McCann has racked up nine goals and four assists and seems to be a perfect fit to play alongside Sidney Crosby and Jake Guentzel. The Ontario native recorded four multipoint efforts in his previous eight contests and will look to keep rolling versus the Sabres on Thursday.

McCann scored two goals, one shorthanded and the other an empty-netter, in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
McCann now has eight goals and 11 points in 19 games for the Penguins, and he found himself on the left wing side of Sidney Crosby in this contest. The two-score performance helped him set a career high in points with 29, registered in 65 games between the Panthers and Penguins this season. Coach Mike Sullivan is known for rotating wingers frequently, but McCann will have a boost in fantasy value as long as he occupies a top-line spot.

McCann tallied a helper against the Blue Jackets on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
McCann continues to roll with six points in his last five games, along with 10 shots, six blocks and a plus-9 rating. The Ontario native has settled in well with his new team, as he already has half as many points as he did in Florida (18) , in significantly fewer games (17 versus 46). Part of the 22-year-old's production is likely due to the fact he is playing on the top line with Sidney Crosby and Jake Guentzel.

McCann earned an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Florida.
EDGE Analysis
McCann is thriving with his recent promotion to the top line, as he has racked up five points in his previous four outings. The 22-year-old figures to be locked into his spot alongside Sidney Crosby and Jake Guentzel as long as he continues to compile points.
