McKenna scored two power-play goals, dished an assist and added two PIM in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Kraken.
McKenna received a promotion to the top line and first power-play unit for this contest, and it paid off. This was the first three-point game of his career and just his second multi-point effort. He's up to five goals, six assists, 26 shots on net, six PIM and a minus-6 rating over 15 appearances. McKenna's short-term production could get a big boost if his assignment alongside Auston Matthews lasts longer than one game.

McKenna scored a power-play goal on one shot in Monday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.
McKenna's third goal of the season was also his first on the power play, bringing the 18-year-old rookie to six points through his first 10 NHL appearances. His offensive talent and power-play involvement offer considerable upside, but limited even-strength opportunities could make his production inconsistent until he earns a larger role. He has logged over 17:00 TOI just twice this season.

McKenna played 17:56 in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Islanders. He registered four shots and finished minus-2.
McKenna's playing time was back up after not seeing ice in the final half of Thursday's overtime loss to the Sabres. The benching caused a stir in Toronto and across the NHL. McKenna had been on a four-game point streak (two goals, three assists) heading into that game, and head coach Jim Hiller said it had nothing to do with the teenager's play away from the puck. It was nice to see his ice time back up Saturday, although none of Toronto's top forwards had a good night. McKenna has been given John Tavares' (lower body) spot on the top power play, so his offensive creativity could shine in this situation.

McKenna scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Mammoth.
McKenna is now on a four-game point streak, consisting of two goals and three assists. That's all the offense he's banked so far, but it's encouraging to see him finding a groove on the third line after struggling in the top six to start the season. The rookie winger has added 12 shots on net, four PIM and a minus-2 rating. McKenna will almost certainly get more looks in the top six as the season progresses, but having him on the third line for now gives the offense a bit more depth as he adjusts to the NHL.

McKenna picked up a power-play assist Saturday in a 6-3 win over Colorado.
The pass drew high praise from the recipient, who buried it behind Mackenzie Blackwood. "Unbelievable pass on that first goal," William Nylander said post-game. "He did a great job, and he's so talented, and he can make those plays all over the ice." McKenna became the first Maple Leafs player age 18 or younger to record a point in three straight games (one goal, three assists) since Russ Courtnall had 10 points (three goals, seven assists) in seven games from March 3-14, 1984.

McKenna scored his first NHL goal and got his first assist in a 5-4 overtime win over the Predators on Tuesday.
McKenna became the youngest Maple Leafs player at the time of his first point (18 years, 290 days), since Drake Berehowsky (18 years, 280 days) on Oct. 10, 1990. McKenna's goal was a beauty, snapping an absolute rocket in the top corner past Juuse Saros at 14:31 of the second period. McKenna was named the game's first star in front of a capacity crowd (18,792). He has a bright future in front of him.
