McCann collected his second goal of the season during a 7-5 win over the Senators on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

It had been 11 games since McCann's last goal although he had seen quite a few good chances in the past couple games for the Panthers. With Vincent Trocheck out long-term with a leg injury the team will be looking for more offensive output from the 22-year-old.

McCann (upper body) will play Thursday against the Oilers, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

After missing the second game in Finland against the Jets last Friday, McCann was back skating in practice this week. He had almost a week to recoup, so it is not a surprise to see him back with the third line taking line rushes. The 22-year-old has one goal and three points in 10 games on the season.

McCann (upper body) won't play Friday against the Jets, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Panthers have yet to release any details regarding the severity of McCann's upper-body injury, but he'll have nearly a week to recover ahead of Thursday's matchup with Edmonton, so he may only be forced to miss one game. Maxim Mamin will replace McCann in the lineup against Winnipeg.

McCann has gone three games without a point to open the season while centering the third line.

EDGE Analysis

The third line has been relatively unstable to open the season while head coach Bob Boughner attempts to find his team chemistry. While McCann himself has remained as the third line center, he has seen his wingers swapped after almost every game this season. Last season the 22-year-old scored nine goals and 28 points in his first full season with the Panthers.

McCann scored two goals, one short-handed, in Wednesday's 5-2 preseason win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

The 22-year-old struck twice in two minutes in the third period to help the Panthers pull away from the Habs. McCann scored a career-high 29 points in 2017-18, and while the 2014 first-round pick may have untapped upside as a scorer, Florida seems content to use his two-way skills on a checking line.

McCann agreed to a two-year, one-way contract extension with the Panthers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

McCann was extended a qualifying offer last week, so it's no surprise to see him staying put in Florida. "Jared is a versatile two-way centerman who possesses excellent speed and suits our team well," said Panthers GM Dale Tallon. "He has improved his game during his time with our organization and we look forward to him taking the next step in his development with the Panthers." The Canucks originally nabbed him in the first round (24th overall) of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, but the two-way pivot was dealt to the Panthers two years later. He compiled 28 points (nine goals, 19 assists) over 68 games in 2017-18.

The Panthers have extended a qualifying offer to McCann.

EDGE Analysis

After a down 2016-17 campaign for the Panthers, McCann reemerged for the club in a bottom-six role this season, racking up 28 points -- nine goals and 19 assists -- over 68 contests while averaging a career-high 13:15 of ice time. Only one of his points came on the power play, leaving his fantasy ceiling relatively low heading into next season, but McCann should continue to provide valuable depth for a talented Panthers forward group.

McCann scored the game-winning goal with 5:37 left in the third period in Thursday's 3-2 victory over the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

His ninth goal of the season was a huge one, as it kept the Panthers mathematically alive in the playoff race while also tying his previous career high. McCann also has a career-best 25 points through 66 games, but the 21-year-old has the talent to produce better numbers if he can escape a bottom-six role in 2018-19.

McCann contributed a goal and two assists in Tuesday's 7-2 win over Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

While six other Panthers were able to pick up two points, McCann was the only player to reach three in this contest. The 21-year-old center still has plenty of room to grow his game, but he hasn't shown himself to be much of a threat offensively up to this point. In the eight games preceding this performance, McCann had totaled just one assist while failing to light the lamp.

McCann scored the game-winning goal in overtime during Tuesday's 3-2 victory against Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

The timely tally was just the seventh goal of the season for McCann, as the 21-year-old forward has struggled to make an offensive impact again in 2017-18. There's still some long-term upside for the 2014 first-round selection, but time is probably running out for McCann to secure a scoring gig with the Panthers. He's likely to continue skating in a bottom-six role while only receiving occasional power-play looks through the end of the year.
