Ready to rock McGinn (back) is listed with the Ducks' second practice group for the first on-ice day of training camp Thursday.

Impact McGinn ended last season on injured reserve due to a disc surgery on his back. He was given a four-month timeline in late March, so it's no surprise he's available for the start of camp. Injuries limited the veteran forward to three points in 24 games last season. McGinn will be in contention for a depth role in 2024-25 and may end up spending most of his playing time on the fourth line.

Done for season McGinn underwent disc surgery on his back and will be sidelined for four months.

Impact This effectively rules out McGinn for the rest of 2023-24. He is expected to be recovered in late July, though it's unclear if he will be ready for a full training camp in September. He was limited to three points over 24 contests this season.

Lands on IR McGinn was placed on injured reserve Saturday with an upper-body injury.

Impact McGinn's IR designation is retroactive to Feb. 10, so he will be eligible to play whenever he's ready. He has been out for the Ducks' last five games, though it's unclear how many of those absences are injury-related. Alex Killorn (knee) was activated from IR in a corresponding move.

Registers helper in loss McGinn recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact The helper was McGinn's first point since the start of December. He endured a 13-game point drought and missed one game for personal reasons as well as three others as a healthy scratch during the slump. The 29-year-old veteran will have a chance to carve out a more regular role with Trevor Zegras (ankle) out 6-8 weeks. McGinn has just three points with 20 shots on net and 22 hits over 20 appearances this season.

Back with team McGinn (personal) was on the ice for practice Thursday, Derek Lee of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Impact McGinn was not available versus Anaheim on Wednesday for the birth of his child but has now rejoined the team and should be an option against Arizona. Having said that, the 29-year-old winger could be in danger of being a healthy scratch for the matchup with the Coyotes based on line combinations Thursday.

DECEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Wednesday McGinn is away from the Ducks to attend the birth of his child and won't play Wednesday versus the Golden Knights.

Impact McGinn is not a lock for the Ducks' lineup at this point in the season anyway, so his absence won't be noticed in fantasy. The 29-year-old has two points and 13 hits over 15 games this season. He should be available for Friday's game versus the Coyotes, though he'll likely continue to rotate with Ross Johnston on the fourth line.

Impact The goal was McGinn's first of the season, and it cut the Capitals' lead to 4-3 midway through the third period. McGinn has played in four straight contests and appears to be gaining traction to be a regular on the fourth line. He's at two points, six shots on net, eight hits, four blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through six outings this season.

Picks up helper in debut McGinn logged an assist in Wednesday's 8-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact McGinn missed the first 15 games of the season with a lower-body injury. The 29-year-old forward played on the fourth line Wednesday, recording 12:07 of ice time and adding a shot on goal. The Ducks have gotten healthier at forward over the last week, so McGinn may have to compete with Ross Johnston and Brett Leason to stay in the lineup regularly.

NOVEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ready for season debut McGinn was activated from injured reserve and will play Wednesday versus the Avalanche.

Impact McGinn missed the first month of the campaign with the injury. The 29-year-old will ease back into things on the fourth line, displacing Brett Leason from the lineup. McGinn had 19 points in 75 outings between the Ducks and the Penguins last season.

Lands on injured reserve McGinn (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Friday, per CapFriendly.

Impact It's unclear when McGinn sustained the injury. He was sidelined by an upper-body at the end of last season, and the Ducks have yet to play their first regular-season contest in 2023-24. McGinn won't be eligible to return until Oct. 21 versus the Coyotes at the earliest.

Impact McGinn snapped his five-game point drought, capitalizing on the Kraken's sloppiness in their own zone late in the second period. This was McGinn's third point over 12 games since he joined the Ducks. The winger is at 19 points, 90 shots on net, 81 hits and a minus-3 rating through 72 outings between Anaheim and Pittsburgh this season, playing primarily in a middle-six role.

On scoresheet with new team McGinn scored a goal in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Canucks.

Impact This was McGinn's second game with the Ducks after he was dealt from the Penguins in the Dmitry Kulikov trade. McGinn's goal came just 20 seconds after Andrei Kuzmenko put the Canucks ahead 2-1 in the second period. Despite being listed on the top line, McGinn saw just 13:16 of ice time -- it appears his usage will resemble that of a bottom-six forward, similar to the role he saw in Pittsburgh. He's at 11 tallies, six assists, 79 shots on net, 75 hits, 37 blocked shots, 21 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 62 outings overall.
