Brock McGinn has always been a physical player, capable of hits that hurt.
He has developed into an effective, aggressive penalty killer, filling that valuable role for the Carolina Hurricanes.
But McGinn is proving he can score at the NHL level, and his two goals Saturday helped the Canes to a 3-1 victory over the Colorado Avalanche at PNC Arena.
Jeff Skinner picked up his 16th goal of the season and goalie Cam Ward earned his 16th win with 29 saves for Carolina (26-21-9), which moved into wild-card playoff position in the Eastern Conference with 61 points.
