McCann recorded an assist, a plus-1 rating, and three hits during Thursday's 3-2 comeback win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

The helper gives McCann a goal and three points in his last five games, which is a pretty good hot streak for the 21-year-old center who is just two points shy of a career-high in points. The first-round pick of the Vancouver Canucks in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft will need more nights like this to carve out meaningful fantasy value, but for now is a reach even in deeper leagues.

McCann's goal drought has extended to 11 consecutive games.

EDGE Analysis

Not only has McCann struggled to find the back of the net, but he has also found assists hard to come by, as he has just two during his goalless streak. The center has already notched more points than all of 2016-17 when he tallied a mere seven -- although he was only in the Panthers' lineup for 29 outings. If the 2014 first-round pick can log a full season -- and get out of his current slump -- he might be able to crack the 20-point threshold.

McCann (lower body) will come off injured reserve and play against Anaheim on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

This will be McCann's first game since Nov. 4, and he'll slot back in as the third-line center. The 21-year-old put up two goals and three assists over eight contests this season while averaging 1:35 of power-play time per game, but his presence on the third line limits his point producing potential.

McCann (lower body) won't be in the lineup for Saturday's game against LA.

EDGE Analysis

McCann is reportedly closing in on a return to game action, so he could be available as soon as Sunday against the Ducks. The 21-year-old forward's owners will want to keep a close eye on his status ahead of Sunday evening's contest, as he's been productive in limited action this campaign, notching two goals and three assists in eight games.

McCann (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per the NHL.com official media site.

EDGE Analysis

The move is retroactive to Nov. 6, so the transaction won't affect McCann's potential return against Los Angeles on Saturday. The versatile forward played well before he got the injury bug putting up five points in seven games, but he'll likely slot back into a bottom-six role when he comes back.

McCann (lower body) has been ruled out of the team's next two games with Saturday's contest in Los Angeles his next chance to return to the lineup, Matthew DeFranks of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCann's participation in practice and whether or not he joins the team for its upcoming three-game road trip to California will be the best indicator of the 2014 first-round pick's chances of playing Saturday. When the former Canuck is ready to make his return he may be a player worth keeping an eye on, as he appears to have made strides from last season into the present campaign, having already scored five points in eight games after finishing 2016-17 with seven points in 29 outings.

McCann (lower body) is an official scratch for Saturday evening's road contest against the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

McCann has now missed seven of the last eight contests due to this nagging injury and it's unclear at this point when he may be able to return. The 21-year-old managed five points in his first seven games to start the season, but is still a bottom-six fill-in for now.

McCann, who's been bothered by a lower-body injury, is not likely to play Friday against the Sabres, Matthew DeFranks of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

While McCann appears doubtful for the next contest, the Panthers will have B.C. native Dryden Hunt -- who was called up from AHL Springfield -- on the active roster to shore up their depth up front. The former is more likely to play in Saturday's game against the Devils.

McCann (lower body) will return to action Saturday night against the Rangers, per Matthew DeFranks of the South Florida Sun Sentinel.

EDGE Analysis

After a five-game injury layoff, McCann's expected to slot in on the third line between Jamie McGinn and Nick Bjugstad. The former makes for a low-end scoring option in the fantasy realm.

McCann (lower body) is expected to return Saturday against the Rangers according to coach Bob Boughner, Matthew DeFranks of the Sun-Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCann has been out for five games with this injury. The Panthers are pretty well set at center, so McCann has only averaged 11:08 per game, although he has played 1:40 per contest on the power play.
