McGinn, 21, has totaled three points (2g, 1a) in 14 games in the NHL this season.

McGinn was named the AHL Player of the Week for the period ending Dec. 13, and currently has an active five-game point streak (6a) – the longest of his career and tied for the second-longest active streak in the AHL.

Prior to turning professional, McGinn totaled 172 points (93g, 79a) in 227 career Ontario Hockey League (OHL) games for Guelph between 2010 and 2014, helping the Storm reach the Memorial Cup championship game in 2014.
