[6]

In his first full professional season in 2014–15, McGinn recorded 15 goals and 27 points in 73 games for the Checkers. [7] During the 2014–15 season, McGinn was suspended by the AHL for one game for charging on March 3, 2015. [8] 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.

[19] In his second season with the Penguins, McGinn struggled on the third line, going 26 games without a point. This was despite scoring two game-winning goals in back-to-back games in November.
