Date News Advice
April 17, 2026 McGing scored two goals in AHL Springfield's 7-5 loss to Hartford on Friday. - McGing has reached at least 30 points in five straight AHL campaigns. He's at 11 goals, 19 assists and a minus-6 rating over 65 appearances this season. He's scored three goals over his last three games. None
Jan. 29, 2026 McGing was recalled from AHL Springfield under emergency conditions Thursday. - McGing was sent to the minors in mid-December, but he'll rejoin the NHL club after Dylan Holloway (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Thursday. McGing appeared in three games with the Blues last month, logging a goal, an assist and two blocked shots while averaging 10:52 of ice time. None
Dec. 16, 2025 McGing was returned to AHL Springfield on Tuesday. - McGing's demotion comes as the Blues claimed Jonatan Berggren off waivers Tuesday. Given the close proximity between St. Louis and Detroit, it seems likely that Berggren will arrive in time to face the Jets on Wednesday, making McGing's presence on the roster unnecessary. In his three outings with the Blues, the 27-year-old McGing generated one goal, one assist and four shots while averaging 10:52 of ice time. None
Dec. 12, 2025 McGing scored a goal in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Predators. - It was his first NHL goal. The 27-year-old has joined the Blues to help cover for numerous injury absences among the team's forwards. McGing is likely to stay in a fourth-line role until some of the injured forwards return, so he's not going to be a strong source of offense for fantasy. None
Dec. 8, 2025 McGing was recalled from AHL Springfield on Monday. - McGing has four goals and six points in 18 minor-league appearances this season. He will be an option for Tuesday's game against Boston, but it's unclear if he will be in the lineup. McGing's promotion from the AHL may not bode well for the availability of Jordan Kyrou (lower body) for Tuesday's contest. None
Sept. 27, 2025 McGing was placed on waivers Saturday, per PuckPedia. - McGing notched 14 goals and 20 assists in 68 regular-season appearances for AHL Springfield in 2024-25. He didn't earn a point in five regular-season outings with the Blues last campaign. If he goes unclaimed, McGing will head back to the Blues' top minor-league affiliate. None
Oct. 6, 2024 McGing was reassigned to AHL Springfield on Sunday. - McGing notched eight goals and 39 points in 51 regular-season games with the Blues' top minor-league affiliate in 2023-24. He will probably spend most of the 2024-25 campaign in the AHL. None
Oct. 4, 2024 McGing was recalled from AHL Springfield on Friday. - McGing was waived Sunday, but he'll return to the NHL for a preseason game Saturday versus the Blackhawks. The 26-year-old has no points over six NHL appearances across the previous two seasons. None
Sept. 29, 2024 McGing was placed on waivers Sunday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet. - McGing registered eight goals and 39 points in 51 regular-season games with AHL Springfield in 2023-24. The 26-year-old forward is still looking for his first NHL point following six appearances with the Blues over the past two campaigns, including five outings last season. He will probably spend most of 2024-25 in the minors. None
May 8, 2024 McGing signed a two-year, two-way contract extension with the Blues on Wednesday. - McGing spent most of the 2023-24 campaign with AHL Springfield, picking up eight goals and 39 points through 51 contests, but he also drew into five games with St. Louis, going scoreless over that span. He'll likely continue to fill a similar role for the organization over the next two seasons. None
Dec. 20, 2023 McGing was reassigned to AHL Springfield on Wednesday, per CapFriendly. - McGing has logged five NHL games this season in which he registered just four shots and failed to write his name on the scoresheet. With his demotion, Sammy Blais could work his way back into the lineup versus the Panthers on Thursday. None
Dec. 9, 2023 McGing was recalled from AHL Springfield on Saturday. - McGing had four goals and 11 assists in 21 games with AHL Springfield before his recall. He logged 9:37 of playing time during his NHL debut last season against Dallas on April 12. None
July 6, 2023 McGing inked a one-year, two-way contract worth $775,000 at the NHL level with St. Louis on Thursday. - McGing scored 17 goals and 39 points in 71 AHL games with Springfield in 2022-23. He also made his NHL debut April 12, but he didn't record a point or shot in 9:37 of ice time. None
April 13, 2023 McGing was reassigned to AHL Springfield on Thursday. - McGing made his NHL debut Wednesday, failing to record a fantasy-relevant stat in 9:37 of ice time versus the Stars. The 24-year-old winger will have to wait until 2023-24 to get another look in the NHL. None
April 10, 2023 McGing was brought up from AHL Springfield on Monday. - McGing has 15 goals and 35 points in 68 AHL contests this campaign. The 24-year-old forward may get a chance to make his NHL debut before the end of the season. None
July 12, 2022 McGing signed a one-year, two-way contract with St. Louis on Tuesday. - McGing -- who was selected by the Blues in the fifth round of the 2018 NHL Draft -- has yet to make his NHL debut during his two professional seasons. In 67 games this past year, the 24-year-old winger recorded 14 goals and 20 assists, adding another seven points in 18 postseason contests. If the Chicago native puts together another strong campaign in the minors, he should be in line to make his debut for St. Louis this year, though he is unlikely to be a full-time NHL player. None
