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

Penguins' Brock McGinn: Placed on waivers Tuesday
Rotowire
McGinn was designated for waivers by Pittsburgh on Tuesday, Greg Wyshynski of ESPN.com reports.
The Penguins are hard up against the cap ahead of the trade deadline, so moving McGinn to the minors, or having him claimed by another team, would provide some much need space ahead of Friday. Despite being on waivers, McGinn was still skating in a third-line role ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Nashville, per Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and looks set to still play. Considering McGinn is pointless in 26 straight games, few fantasy players will even notice whether or not he suits up against the Preds.

Rotowire

McGinn has registered just 20 shots during his slump while averaging 12:55 of ice time. Given his lack of production, the winger could see himself relegated to the press box as a healthy scratch once Kasperi Kapanen (lower body) or Josh Archibald (lower body) is cleared to return.

Penguins' Brock McGinn: Scores early Sunday
Rotowire
McGinn scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Blackhawks.
McGinn tallied just 1:04 into the game, and the Penguins led for much of the contest en route to the victory. The winger's nose for the net has been strong lately -- he's scored five times in his last seven games, though he hasn't produced an assist in that span. For the season, the 28-year-old is up to six goals, three helpers, 30 shots on net, 23 hits and a plus-6 rating through 19 contests. He's now shooting 20 percent, so his hot streak shouldn't be expected to last a whole lot longer.
