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.

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

Ducks' Brock McGinn: Done for season
Rotowire
McGinn underwent disc surgery on his back and will be sidelined for four months.
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.

Ducks' Brock McGinn: Lands on IR
Rotowire
McGinn was placed on injured reserve Saturday with an upper-body injury.
McGinn's IR designation is retroactive to Feb. 10, so he won't be eligible to play Saturday against Toronto. He has been out for the Ducks' last five games, though it's unclear how many of those absences were injury-related. Alex Killorn (knee) was activated from IR in a corresponding move.

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

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

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

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.

Rotowire
McGinn scored a goal in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Kraken.

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.
