Jared McCann records three assists in Kraken's 6-1 win over Flames

Fantasy hockey: McCann's three-assist night is a good sign, but his shot total and ice time stayed normal for him, so treat it as a single strong game.

Jared McCann set up three goals on Thursday, October 1 in Seattle's 6-1 victory over Calgary, finishing with three assists, three shots and 17:54 of ice time while posting a plus-2 rating.

The three-point night stands well above his recent averages of 0.71 points per game, but the shot total and minutes stayed in line with his usual workload. His underlying play grades 54 out of 100 among forwards in shots, scoring chances and ice time, a read on how sustainable his scoring is.

McCann's three assists came without more shots or minutes than usual, as his three shots and 17:54 of ice time sit close to his recent averages of 2.3 shots and 16:25 a night. He plays on Seattle's top power-play unit, averaging 2:44 of power-play time per game, which ranks first among all Kraken skaters. His recent averages show 0.33 goals, 0.38 assists and 0.22 power-play points per game.

The strong performance is encouraging but his underlying play grade of 54 suggests the scoring may not repeat every night. He has four games left this week on Thursday, Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday. His shot rate and ice time provide a baseline for production, and while three assists is a welcome result, the numbers around it stayed normal for his level.

What to do

• Keep McCann rostered as a regular in your lineup with four games this week.

• Expect his scoring to settle back toward his 0.71 points-per-game average after this strong night.

• Value his spot on Seattle's top power-play unit as his best path to consistent points.
