Three-game, four-assist streak McCann has two assists in a 6-2 win over Buffalo on Saturday.

Impact One assist came on the power play. McCann is on a three-game, four-assist streak that includes two power-play points. He also has six shots. McCann has just three goals in his last 18 games, which is odd for a sniper who's known more for sniping than playmaking. He has 32 points (13 goals, 19 assists) and 107 shots in 43 games overall. The goals will come.

The 28-year-old is usually one of the Kraken's most reliable forwards, but the whole team has struggled with consistency on offense lately. McCann is at 13 goals, 16 assists, six power-play points, 103 shots on net, 30 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 41 appearances in a top-six role.

McCann is at 12 tallies, 27 points, 92 shots on net, 25 blocked shots, 18 hits and a plus-2 rating over 36 contests this season. It's important for the Kraken to get his offense back on track as he's generally been one of their most consistent forwards.

The 28-year-old has had more positives than negatives as the Kraken's top scorer, racking up nine goals, 13 helpers, 54 shots on net and a plus-10 rating over 22 appearances. It feels like McCann's been due for regression for a few years, but it doesn't look like a significant drop-off is coming in 2024-25.
