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.

McNabb logged an assist, three hits and three blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

McNabb was expected to miss Game 3 with an upper-body injury, but the veteran defenseman got through warmups and was able to play. His inclusion in the lineup proved impactful, as he helped out on Reilly Smith's last-second goal to give the Golden Knights the win. McNabb is up to four helpers, seven shots on net, 26 hits, 23 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over nine playoff outings. As long as the injury doesn't flare up, he should be good to handle top-four minutes for the rest of the postseason.

McNabb (upper body) will play in Game 3 against Edmonton on Saturday, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

McNabb sustained the injury when he crashed into the boards late in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to Edmonton. He was originally expected to miss the clash after not participating in Saturday's morning skate, but it seems he'll remain in the lineup as Vegas attempts to claw back from a 2-0 series deficit. McNabb has three assists, six PIM, seven shots, 23 hits and 20 blocks across eight playoff outings this year while averaging 21:14 of ice time. He's projected to play alongside Shea Theodore in Game 3, according to Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

McNabb (upper body) won't play against Edmonton on Saturday in Game 3, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

McNabb accompanied the team to Edmonton but didn't participate in Saturday's morning skate. He will be day-to-day ahead of Monday's Game 4 matchup. The 34-year-old blueliner has three assists, seven shots on goal, 20 blocked shots and 23 hits across eight appearances this postseason. Due to McNabb's absence, Kaedan Korczak will play against the Oilers on Saturday.
