McQueen was reassigned to AHL San Diego on Wednesday.
McQueen had 11 goals and 27 points in 36 outings with Providence College as a freshman in 2025-26. He also had a goal and three points in seven AHL regular-season appearances with San Diego last year. Although it seems McQueen will begin the campaign in the minors, it wouldn't be surprising to see him get a chance to play with Anaheim later in the season.
