McGroarty was assigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Sunday.

McGroarty was called up from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Thursday.
McGroarty's promotion to the NHL roster comes as both Bryan Rust (lower body) and Ben Kindel (undisclosed) were placed on injured reserve in corresponding moves. Whether McGroarty gets into the lineup versus Florida on Thursday will likely come down to a decision by the coaching staff between him and Elmer Soderblom.

McGroarty scored two goals and added one assist in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 6-3 win over Cleveland on Saturday.
McGroarty has started very well this season with four goals and five assists over six games. He's earned eight of those nine points over his last three contests. He's also racked up 30 shots on net. McGroarty's uptick in shot volume is a great sign for him continuing to score regularly.

McGroarty scored twice and added two assists in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 6-2 win over Providence on Sunday.
McGroarty has earned two goals, three assists and 21 shots on net over four contests to start the season. The 22-year-old winger made the Penguins' Opening Night roster before a quick demotion to the AHL. If he continues to display his skills as he did Sunday, it won't take him long to get another look in Pittsburgh.

McGroarty was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Thursday.
McGroarty opened the season with Pittsburgh, but he was a healthy scratch for the Penguins' 7-0 victory over Philadelphia on Wednesday. The 22-year-old had 10 goals and 34 points in 30 AHL outings as well as three goals and six points in 24 appearances with Pittsburgh during the 2025-26 regular season.

McGroarty scored twice and added an assist in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 8-0 win over Rochester on Saturday.
McGroarty saw some NHL time late in the regular season, closing out the year at six points in 24 games with Pittsburgh. He'll be with the Baby Pens for the length of their playoff run, but if they're knocked out early, he'll likely return to Pittsburgh as part of the Black Aces.
