McGinn had surgery to reconstruct his ACL and will be sidelined for 7-9 months, the Ducks announced Tuesday.
McGinn's timeline will have him close to being ready in time for the 2025-26 campaign, though there is a chance he won't be ready in time for preseason action. The 30-year-old winger will see his season end having logged just 26 games in which he notched four goals, four assists and 30 shots while averaging 11:43 of ice time.

Ducks' Brock McGinn: Puts up helper
Rotowire
McGinn logged an assist, four hits and three blocked shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
McGinn helped out on Isac Lundestrom's empty-netter to close out the scoring.

He's now at five points, 12 shots on net, 40 hits, 20 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 14 appearances. His lack of offense will keep him out of contention for most fantasy rosters.

Ducks' Brock McGinn: Contributes helper Saturday
Rotowire
McGinn posted an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Sharks.
McGinn may not be an every-game player for the Ducks, but he has the edge over Ross Johnston for a fourth-line spot for now. The 30-year-old McGinn offers a bit of grit and a veteran presence on an otherwise young roster. The winger was limited to three points, 37 hits and 24 shots on net in 24 games last season, which was cut short by a disc surgery to repair an injury in his back.
