McBain (lower body) is week-to-week and won't play Saturday against the Canucks.
McBain suffered the injury in Thursday's game against the Kraken. With less than two weeks to go in the regular season, it is unclear if he'll be able to return before a potential playoff series for the Mammoth. The 26-year-old has 25 points (nine goals, 16 assists) in 75 games this campaign.

Mammoth's Jack McBain: Questionable to finish game
Rotowire
McBain is questionable to return to Thursday's game versus the Kraken after sustaining a lower-body injury.
McBain limped to the locker room during the second period. The 26-year-old's questionable status is not a worst-case scenario, but that still leaves his ability to play Saturday versus the Canucks in doubt if he can't get back into Thursday's contest.

Rotowire
McBain scored an empty-net goal on two shots, added two PIM and doled out three hits in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Kings.
McBain has three goals over his last seven games. The 26-year-old continues to offer elite physicality from the third line, though that hasn't come with a lot of offense this season.

Mammoth's Jack McBain: Finds twine in win
Rotowire
McBain scored a goal on two shots and added seven hits in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Golden Knights.
McBain has scored in back-to-back games after going 20 contests without a goal. The 26-year-old continues to play on the third line, which suits him well as a strong checking forward. He's up to eight goals, 24 points, 101 shots on net, 249 hits, 40 blocked shots, 67 PIM and a plus-13 rating over 69 appearances. He still has time to challenge his career-best 27-point output from 82 games a year ago.

Rotowire
McBain scored a shorthanded goal on two shots and added five PIM in Monday's 6-3 win over the Stars.
McBain had gone without a point over the first eight games of March. He broke a 2-2 deadlock in the third period with his shortie, which sparked a rally for the Mammoth. McBain is up to seven goals, 23 points, 99 shots on net, 242 hits, 40 blocked shots, 67 PIM and a plus-12 rating over 68 appearances in a middle-six role. He's been unlucky this year, shooting just 7.1 percent after never posting a season lower than 14.1 percent in his first three full NHL campaigns.

Mammoth's Jack McBain: Questionable for Wednesday's game
Rotowire
McBain was absent from Tuesday's afternoon skate due to an illness, per Brogan Houston of the Deseret News.
Head coach Andre Tourigny stated that McBain is sick, which puts his status for Wednesday's home game against Colorado up in the air. The 26-year-old forward was one of three players not on the ice for the Mammoth, who were also missing top-line forwards Clayton Keller and Nick Schmaltz. McBain will likely need to log a limited practice or more Wednesday morning to have a shot at playing in Utah's opening game out of the Olympic break.

Rotowire
McBain notched two assists, two shots on goal, seven hits, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Ducks.

He's up to seven points, 37 shots on net, 85 hits, 23 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 28 appearances overall. While he saw 18:03 of ice time in this blowout win, he's more of a third-line option for his gritty, all-around play.

Mammoth's Jack McBain: Unavailable for Thursday
Rotowire
McBain (undisclosed) isn't expected to play in Thursday's preseason game against the Kings, per Catherine Bogart of Utah's official site.
McBain is considered day-to-day, so he might still be an option for Saturday's exhibition clash versus San Jose. McBain recorded 13 goals, 27 points, 78 PIM and 291 hits across 82 outings with Utah in 2024-25. Once healthy, McBain will likely occupy a bottom-six role.

Mammoth's Jack McBain: Still out against Kings
Rotowire
McBain (undisclosed) won't be ready to face Los Angeles on Tuesday, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports.
While McBain's injury is not expected to be a long-term issue, he could also miss out on Thursday's game versus the Kings as he works his way back to full fitness. The 25-year-old center has reached the 25-point threshold in each of his three full NHL campaigns, so fantasy managers should be fairly safe in assuming he'll hit that mark again in 2025-26.

Mammoth's Jack McBain: In the fold long term
Rotowire
McBain signed a five-year, $21.25 million contract with the Mammoth on Monday.
McBain is locked in with the Mammoth on a long-term, five-year deal to avoid arbitration. The 25-year-old had 13 goals and 14 assists in 82 games last season, but offense isn't where he delivers the most value. He's a physical presence in a middle-six role, delivering 291 hits last year, and he will look to continue that moving forward from a similar spot in the lineup.

Rotowire

Hockey Club's Jack McBain: One of each in loss
Rotowire
McBain scored a power-play goal, dished an assist and added four hits in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Kings.
McBain had gone 10 games without a goal and also ended a five-game stretch without a point.

He's at 13 goals, 24 points, 80 shots on net, 271 hits, 78 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 76 appearances. His goal was the first power-play point of his career.

Hockey Club's Jack McBain: Tallies opening goal
Rotowire
McBain scored a goal, added five hits and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.
McBain snapped an eight-game goal drought with the opening tally at 11:03 of the first period. The 25-year-old forward has served on a checking line with Lawson Crouse and Josh Doan recently, but all three players can chip in a bit of offense as well. McBain has three points over his last four outings and a total of 20 points, 69 shots on net, 226 hits, 41 blocked shots, 61 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 65 appearances this season.

Hockey Club's Jack McBain: Notches assist in win
Rotowire
McBain provided an assist, two shots on goal and five hits in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Red Wings.
McBain had gone five games without a point, and he's gotten on the scoresheet in just two of 25 contests since the start of January (three points). Despite the downturn in offense, he hasn't been scratched, and he's even worked his way back onto the second power-play unit. The 25-year-old has a modest 18 points and 66 shots on net through 62 outings, but he is a physical force with 214 hits and 61 PIM to his name this season.

Hockey Club's Jack McBain: Ends drought with two-point game
Rotowire
McBain scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, logged two hits and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-4 shootout win over the Capitals.
McBain entered Sunday on an 18-game point drought. The 25-year-old snapped it with a helper on Josh Doan's opening goal 1:10 into the game and then added a tally of his own later in the first period. The lack of offense has left McBain stuck in a bottom-six role most of the time, and he's been back at his natural center position recently to help cover for the absence of Logan Cooley (lower body). McBain is at 11 goals, 17 points, 59 shots on net, 192 hits, 56 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 56 appearances. He's on pace to finish right around the 26 points he recorded in each of the previous two seasons.

Hockey Club's Jack McBain: Held off scoresheet in January
Rotowire
McBain failed to record a point over 14 games in January, adding a minus-7 rating, 16 shots on net and 60 hits.
McBain has largely played as a winger this season, but he's been at center more often than not over the last two weeks. The 25-year-old's month-long slump has him stuck at 15 points through 51 appearances, but his spot in the lineup should be safe while Utah is missing Logan Cooley (lower body) and Dylan Guenther (lower body). McBain has added 54 shots on net, 49 PIM, 179 hits and 35 blocked shots this season -- he's a decent source of physicality for fantasy managers in deep formats who don't need to prioritize offense.
