The year-old has enjoyed a strong second season in Pittsburgh, notching 13 goals and 15 assists in 38 games. McCann dished out a pair of assists in Tuesday's win over the Devils. McCann has at least a point in three consecutive games and 11 of the past 14, as he's long since put a slow start behind him. He has 12 goals and 25 points in 33 appearances this season. While it would take a torrid last 10 games, McCann has worked his way within striking distance of reaching the career-best 35 points he posted in each of the past two seasons.
McCann recorded a power-play assist, two shots on net and four blocked shots in Sunday's win over the Devils.

Murat's mother said that wasn't possible. Then, the public began to turn on the McCanns for leaving their daughter alone. Jane Hill : There were … people saying that. Why would you not keep an eye on your child? I wouldn't be able to leave three children, in that situation. Portuguese investigators also began eyeing the McCanns. Three months after Madeleine vanished, specially trained sniffer dogs were flown in to scour the family's vacation rental.
Traces of blood were detected inside the apartment and in the trunk of the McCann's rental car. Partial samples of the blood were recovered and sent to a British lab for DNA testing, but the results indicated that the blood found in the apartment did not belong to Madeleine and the results from the DNA in the rental car were inconclusive. Jim Gamble : Well I've seen the letter from the forensic science lab.
It was not a complete DNA sample. Jim Gamble : The car wasn't actually retained by the McCann's until weeks after Madeleine had gone missing. It just doesn't add up. The forensics don't add up. And yet, four months after Madeleine vanished, Portuguese police declared the McCanns "arguidos"— suspects in their own daughter's disappearance. Peter Van Sant : The enormous media coverage in this, do you believe in some ways that pressured Portuguese authorities to say, we have our real suspects?
It is Kate and it is Gerry. Jim Gamble : Well, I can't speak to that. But in my opinion, do I think that that type of pressure would focus the attention of a senior investigating officer? Of course. Jim Gamble : The McCanns should have been suspects day one, minute one, hour one.
And I don't believe for one second the McCanns committed this crime. But what I'm saying is … Your attention should be, first of all, to look at the parents and actually to rule them in or rule them out - not to wait until your months down the line where you have exhausted all of your other ideas, and to then say, "Well, actually, it must be the parents.
Surprisingly, almost immediately after being declared suspects, the McCanns were allowed to fly to the U. Kate McCann told her family that Portuguese investigators had pressured her to sign a confession, in which she was to admit that Madeleine had died accidentally, and that Madeleine's disappearance had been staged.
Kate refused. Jane Hill : I'm sure there were people in the U. And that was reflected particularly in the British tabloid press. Jim Gamble : And what happened … is, the war of the tabloids began to take place. The onslaught of wild accusations continued for months, effectively portraying the McCanns as killers. Jim Gamble : And then you get the armchair detectives.
It wasn't until the following summer, in July , that Portuguese investigators cleared the McCanns. By then, Gerry and Kate had spent nearly a year under a cloud of suspicion. KATE MCCANN [ interview]: It's hard to describe how utterly despairing it was to be named arguido and subsequently portrayed in the media as suspects in our own daughter's abduction.
The police also cleared Robert Murat. But what had happened to little Madeleine? The McCanns remained singularly focused on finding out. More than two years had passed since Madeleine McCann's mysterious disappearance, and Portuguese investigators were no closer to knowing what happened to her.
As head of the U. Jim Gamble : A video … that said … "It's never too late to do the right thing. Peter Van Sant : I understand that the video was in seven different languages, is that right?
Peter Van Sant : Give me a sense of the number of sightings … that were pouring in from all over the world during these years. But things were about to heat up. In , Gamble was asked by the British government to officially review the case. Peter Van Sant : When Portuguese police began this investigation, you believe they made some fundamental errors.
Jim Gamble : I — I do think they … made some critical errors. Gamble says Portuguese investigators failed to take a close look at everyone staying near the Ocean Club at the time. Jim Gamble : It was clear that the, you know, searches … were ad hoc. The fact is that all of the details of all of the people who'd stayed in that apartment block … or been in proximity at the time, hadn't been captured. Gamble also found that cellphone data around the Ocean Club the day Madeleine went missing hadn't been properly analyzed.
Jim Gamble : The telephone companies captured all of that information in Yet … there was absolutely no evidence that any of that cell site data had been … investigated. In June , Gamble finished his case review and submitted recommendations to the British government. But for almost a yea r nothing happened. Jim Gamble : Gerry McCann wrote an open letter on the front page of a popular tabloid … to the prime minister. Operation Grange became one of the largest and most expensive investigations in British history.
The full weight of Scotland Yard was now brought in to assist the Portuguese investigation. Jane Hill : There was a sense in the U. Let's go through witness statements. Let's see whether we can make fresh appeals for information and really revitalize this.
That meant taking another look at every possible scenario of what might have happened that night. Jim Gamble : Could this be that the child simply walked away? Could it be a burglary that's gone wrong? Jim Gamble : Could someone have broken into the room and might they have been disturbed by Madeleine … and could they have responded, you know, out of fear — out of anger and nervousness … and taken her away?
There was one dark scenario that weighed most heavily; the possibility that Madeleine had been kidnapped by a sex offender. Operation Grange solved one early mystery: the identity of the man seen in a police sketch, whom that family friend had reported seeing. Scotland Yard determined it was just a man on vacation with his child. Jim Gamble : I have on many occasions looked at images of children who have been found.
And the likeness sometimes is remarkable. By , the number of alleged Madeleine sightings had grown to over 8,, spanning more than countries. Scotland Yard investigated every credible lead, but none led anywhere. Jane Hill : How could it be that years later, there was still no trace of this little girl. How was that possible? Jim Gamble : What we're waiting for over these years as all these bits start to fall into place - the cell site data, information about suspects, other sex offenders in the area.
We're waiting for that last piece … to fall into place. After years of dead ends, finally a promising suspect- a year-old German man. A look into his past would reveal a monster. Their suspect status was lifted in July due to a lack of evidence, but not after they suffered baseless accusations of their guilt, particularly in the tabloid press.
