Summary
Rutger McGroarty’s 2025-26 season was a tale of two leagues: a quiet, injury-delayed NHL stint with just six points in 24 games, but a breakout year in the AHL with 34 points and strong defensive play. His advanced stats hint at untapped potential, but his skating remains the biggest question. With roster spots opening up next season, McGroarty’s health and ability to crack 20 goals could define his NHL future — and whether he’s ready to be more than a depth player for Pittsburgh.
