Jack McBain - NHL News & Rumors

Slated to play Friday McBain (lower body) is expected to be in the lineup in Friday's Game 6 versus the Golden Knights, per the NHL media site.

Impact McBain was out of the lineup for the last four games, though the team had not indicated it was for an injury until Friday. The 26-year-old is expected to fill a fourth-line role. Barrett Hayton (upper body) will exit the lineup after returning from an injury of his own in Game 5.

Game-time call Friday McBain (undisclosed) is expected to be a game-time decision for Game 6 against Vegas on Friday, per Cole Bagley of KSL Sports.

Impact McBain had been dealing with a lower-body injury when he drew into the lineup for Game 1 on April 19. However, his return to the lineup was short-lived, and he's missed Utah's past four matches. He had nine goals, 25 points, 84 PIM, 106 shots and 271 hits in 75 regular-season appearances with Utah in 2025-26. If McBain is an option Friday, then he might draw into the lineup as part of the bottom six.

Impact McBain missed the last seven games of the regular season due to his injury.

Liam O'Brien will be a healthy scratch as a result of McBain's return.

Week-to-week with injury McBain (lower body) won't play Saturday against the Canucks, the team announced.

Impact McBain is considered week-to-week by the team after leaving Thursday's game against the Kraken early. With less than two weeks to go in the regular season, it is unclear if he'll be able to return before a potential postseason series for the Mammoth. The 26-year-old has 25 points (nine goals, 16 assists) in 75 games on the season.

APRIL 4 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to finish game McBain is questionable to return to Thursday's game versus the Kraken after sustaining a lower-body injury.

Impact McBain limped to the locker room during the second period. The 26-year-old's questionable status is not a worst-case scenario, but that still leaves his ability to play Saturday versus the Canucks in doubt if he can't get back into Thursday's contest.

Impact McBain has three goals over his last seven games. The 26-year-old continues to offer elite physicality from the third line, though that hasn't come with a lot of offense this season. He's at nine goals, 25 points, 106 shots on net, 269 hits, 84 PIM and a plus-11 rating over 74 appearances. McBain needs two more points to match his career-best total from last year.

Impact McBain has scored in back-to-back games after going 20 contests without a goal. The 26-year-old continues to play on the third line, which suits him well as a strong checking forward. He's up to eight goals, 24 points, 101 shots on net, 249 hits, 40 blocked shots, 67 PIM and a plus-13 rating over 69 appearances. He still has time to challenge his career-best 27-point output from 82 games a year ago.

McBain is up to seven goals, 23 points, 99 shots on net, 242 hits, 40 blocked shots, 67 PIM and a plus-12 rating over 68 appearances in a middle-six role. He's been unlucky this year, shooting just 7.1 percent after never posting a season lower than 14.1 percent in his first three full NHL campaigns.

Contributes two assists in win McBain notched two assists, one while shorthanded, and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-2 win over the Wild.

Impact McBain has earned six helpers over his last seven games. He's gone 12 contests without a goal, but he remains in a middle-six role to offer some toughness in key minutes for the Mammoth. McBain is up to 22 points, 82 shots on net, 199 hits, 38 blocked shots, 58 PIM and a plus-10 rating through 59 outings. He could take a run at his first 30-point campaign at his current pace.

Slated to play Wednesday McBain (illness) is expected to be in the lineup Wednesday versus the Avalanche.

Impact McBain missed Tuesday's practice session, but he looks to be feeling well enough to play a day later. He's listed on the second line as a winger alongside Logan Cooley and Dylan Guenther. McBain has 19 points in 57 appearances this season.

FEBRUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Wednesday's game McBain was absent from Tuesday's afternoon skate with an illness, per Brogan Houston of the Deseret News.

Impact Head coach Andre Tourigny stated that McBain is sick, which likely puts his status for Wednesday's home game against Colorado up in the air. The 26-year-old forward was one of three players not on the ice for the Mammoth, who were also missing top-line forwards Clayton Keller and Nick Schmaltz. McBain will likely need to log a limited practice or more Wednesday morning to have a shot at playing in Utah's opening game out of the Olympic break.

FEBRUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Plates pair of helpers Thursday McBain supplied two assists and recorded three hits in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact McBain dished out the primary helper on a goal scored by each of his linemates Thursday, Kailer Yamamoto and Michael Carcone. With the pair of apples, McBain is up to 13 assists, 19 points, 78 shots on net, 186 hits and 37 blocked shots through 54 games this season. Over his last 11 games, the 26-year-old forward has been hot with nine points, a plus-10 rating, 22 shots on net and 38 hits. While his overall offensive numbers don't stand out, McBain is a decent streaming option in deep fantasy leagues that value banger stats, as he's a near shoo-in for his fourth consecutive season north of 200 hits.
