First points in NHL career McGroarty recorded a goal, an assist, three shots on target, two hits, one blocked shot and a plus-1 rating in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blues.
Impact Despite the overtime loss, this is a game McGroarty will probably not forget since he cracked the scoresheet in an NHL contest for the first time in his career. He also registered a career-high in playing time (18:28 TOI) and could continue to see a steady role in the lineup in the final days of the regular season with the Penguins close to being eliminated from playoff contention.

Elevated from minors McGroarty was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Friday.
Impact McGroarty was underwhelming in his three appearances for the Penguins this year, recording zero points, two shots and four hits while averaging 11:37 of ice time. A stint in the minors appears to have done the 20-year-old winger some good, as he has racked up 14 goals and 25 assists in 60 minor-league contests. In addition to this stint with Pittsburgh to end the current campaign, McGroarty should be a strong candidate to make the team's 23-man roster for Opening Night next year.

Performing well in minors McGroarty has registered six goals and 16 helpers in 39 games with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, including five points in his last 10 outings.
Impact McGroarty struggled at the start of the 2024-25 campaign, managing just one helper in his first eight contests, but has seemingly found his game with the Baby Pens. With Pittsburgh likely headed for a third straight season without a postseason appearance, McGroarty could be one of a handful of youngsters to see minutes with the NHL club in the final few weeks of the year.
