Brock McGinn (born February 2, 1994) is a Canadian professional ice hockey forward currently playing for the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was drafted 47th overall by the Carolina Hurricanes in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing career[]

McGinn played four seasons of junior hockey for the Guelph Storm of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) from 2010-11 through 2013-14. During the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, he was selected in the second round, 47th overall by the Carolina Hurricanes.

On April 3, 2013, the Hurricanes signed McGinn to a three-year, entry-level contract.[1] He joined the Hurricanes' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Charlotte Checkers, to close out the 2012-13 AHL season. Having returned to the Storm for the 2013–14 season, McGinn established a junior career high numbers in which he tallied 43 goals and 85 points.

In his first full professional season in 2014–15, McGinn recorded 15 goals and 27 points in 73 games for the Checkers. After scoring two goals in two games to start the 2015–16 season with the Checkers, McGinn received his first NHL recall and made his debut on October 16, 2015 against the Detroit Red Wings.[2] In his first shift, McGinn scored his first NHL goal to open the scoring after only 55 seconds. It was the fastest debut goal since Alexander Mogilny scored after 20 seconds in 1989. He also contributed with an assist to help the Hurricanes defeat the Red Wings 5-3.[3]

McGinn became a regular for the Hurricanes during the 2016-17 season, skating in 57 games.

In Game 7 of the 2019 Eastern Conference First Round against the Washington Capitals, McGinn made a save with just over two minutes remaining in regulation,[4] and scored the series-winning goal with 8:55 left in double overtime on an assist by Justin Williams.[5]

On July 20, 2019, the Hurricanes re-signed McGinn to a two-year, $4.2 million contract extension.[6]

Upon reaching unrestricted free agency after the 2020–21 season, McGinn joined the Pittsburgh Penguins on July 28, 2021 by signing a four-year, $11 million contract. [7]
