McNabb scored an empty-net goal on four shots, added two hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
McNabb was able to put the game to rest after Vegas had some trouble hitting the vacated net. The 35-year-old blueliner has four points over nine contests since he returned from an upper-body injury that cost him over a month of action. He's earned three goals, four assists, 53 shots on net, 89 hits, 115 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 47 appearances in a top-four role this year.

McNabb notched two assists, four shots on goal, four blocked shots and two hits in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
McNabb missed 19 straight games due to an upper-body injury sustained Dec. 31 versus the Predators. The 35-year-old blueliner is ready to reclaim his top-four role as a shutdown presence, which should help the Golden Knights secure their own zone. Through 39 outings this season, McNabb has five points, 37 shots on net, 65 hits, 102 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating. This is the first year he's missed time since the 2021-22 campaign.

McNabb (upper body) was activated off injured reserve Tuesday, per SinBin.vegas.
EDGE Analysis
Following a 19-game stint on the shelf, McNabb is set to return to the lineup Wednesday in Los Angeles. The left-shot blueliner hasn't played since Dec. 31, so he could be eased back into action in his return. McNabb has logged three points, 63 hits, 98 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 38 appearances this season.

General manager Kelly McCrimmon conveyed Monday that McNabb (upper body) isn't scheduled to return to the lineup until after the 2026 Winter Olympics, per SinBin.vegas.
EDGE Analysis
McNabb was classified as week-to-week at the beginning of January and landed on injured reserve shortly thereafter. The left-shot blueliner has missed nine straight games and likely won't be back in the lineup until Feb. 25 in Los Angeles at the earliest.

McNabb (upper body) was designated for injured reserve Thursday, SinBin.vegas reports.
EDGE Analysis
McNabb has already missed three games due to his upper-body injury, but seems no closer to getting back in the lineup. Still, the veteran defenseman can be activated at any point once given the all-clear. McNabb has notched just three points in 38 games this year, so few fantasy managers figure to be impacted by his continued absence.

McNabb (upper body) is considered week-to-week, SinBin Vegas reports Friday.
EDGE Analysis
McNabb sustained the injury during Wednesday's 4-2 loss to Nashville. He has two goals, three points, 18 PIM, 63 hits and 98 blocks in 38 appearances in 2025-26. Jaycob Megna was summoned from AHL Henderson on Thursday and should play regularly during McNabb's absence.

McNabb sustained an upper-body injury in Wednesday's game versus the Predators, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
McNabb didn't play after getting hurt in the third period. The defenseman's status wasn't updated after the game, leaving him in doubt for Friday versus the Blues. The Golden Knights will likely need to call up a defenseman from AHL Henderson to provide additional depth -- if McNabb is unavailable, there are currently just five blueliners on Vegas' roster.

McNabb scored a goal on four shots and blocked five shots in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
McNabb has contributed two goals over 12 games in December, but he's also gone minus-5 with 23 hits, 27 blocks and 14 shots on net this month. The 34-year-old blueliner continues to function as a shutdown defenseman, though he may be struggling a bit without hisusual partner, Shea Theodore, who is out with an upper-body injury. McNabb has three points, 33 shots on net, 97 blocks, 63 hits, 18 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 37 appearances this season.

McNabb scored the game-winning goal in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
McNabb found the back of the net for the first time this season and did it in style, potting a snap shot past Jet Greaves to give the Golden Knights a comeback win. This was McNabb's first goal and second point of the season despite playing every game for Vegas, so his fantasy appeal shouldn't be very high any time soon.

McNabb logged an assist, three shots on goal and four blocked shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
This was McNabb's first point of the campaign. The 34-year-old has remained in a top-four role, but he's almost exclusively a defensive presence. His slow start to 2025-26 makes it unlikely that he'll be able to get to the 20-point mark for a third straight season. In addition to his assist, he has nine shots on net, 20 hits, four PIM, a plus-4 rating and an NHL-best 51 blocked shots through 15 appearances.
