McTavish signed a six-year, $42 million contract with Anaheim on Saturday, per Pierre LeBrun of TSN.

He accounted for 22 goals, 52 points, 180 shots on net and 70 hits across 76 regular-season appearances in 2024-25.

He had 15 goals, 31 points, 107 shots on net and 72 hits across 71 regular-season outings with Vegas in 2024-25.
