McIlrath recorded two assists, two PIM, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Flyers. This was McIlrath's first career multi-point effort, which came in his 80th NHL appearance. This is also just the second season in which he's had multiple points at the NHL level, as he's often been stuck as an organizational depth option in most organizations. The 32-year-old has added 12 hits, two blocked shots, two shots on net, nine PIM and a plus-1 rating over five outings this season. He'll likely continue to play until Matt Roy (lower body) is ready to return.

McIlrath was returned to AHL Hershey on Monday. McIlrath suited up in all four games of Washington's first-round series defeat against the Rangers, posting four blocked shots, seven hits and 10 PIM. He will get to play for the Bears in the AHL playoffs after contributing nine points and 100 PIM in 58 minor-league appearances during the 2023-24 regular season.

McIlrath was recalled from AHL Hershey on Sunday. McIlrath has three goals, nine points and 100 PIM in 58 AHL contests this campaign.

McIlrath was reassigned to AHL Hershey on Saturday, according to Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.

McIlrath managed to play in one game, picking up a five-minute fighting major in a 3-0 win over Vegas on Tuesday. McIlrath had three assists and 23 PIM in 11 AHL games before his recall.
