McNabb (upper leg) will play Thursday versus the Coyotes, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

McNabb was hurt in the Golden Knights' first game and later diagnosed with a charley horse. His focus was being ready for Opening Night versus the Kraken on Oct. 12, but it appears he'll be ready before then. A steady defender, the 30-year-old blueliner will likely max out around 15 points while offering a healthy share of hits and blocked shots.

McNabb (upper leg) participated in Monday's practice, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

McNabb suffered a minor injury during the Sep. 26 preseason tilt with San Jose and the Golden Knights didn't attempt to rush him back. The 30-year-old defenseman should be good to go for Opening Night and could see some action before the preseason ends.

McNabb (upper body) won't play in Friday's preseason clash with the Kings but is expected to be ready for Opening Night against Seattle on Oct. 12, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Over the course of his nine-year NHL career, McNabb has reached the 20-point threshold just once back in 2014-15. Given his limited offensive upside, few fantasy players should be impacted even if McNabb does miss some regular-season action.

McNabb didn't suffer any structural damage when he was injured in Sunday's preseason matchup with the Sharks, but he is dealing with a charley horse, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Golden Knights aren't going to rush McNabb back before he's fully recovered from his injury, but at this point there's no reason to believe he's in any danger of missing regular-season action. The 30-year-old defender picked up eight points and 98 hits while averaging 19:18 of ice time through 41 games last campaign.

McNabb (undisclosed) didn't finish Sunday's preseason game against the Sharks, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Golden Knights were without McNabb, Shea Theodore (undisclosed) and Mark Stone (head) by the end of the night. Further updates on their statuses should surface prior to the team's next preseason tilt, Tuesday against the Avalanche. McNabb was tripped down on his final shift, so his absence is likely linked to that play.

McNabb scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over the Canadiens in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

McNabb tallied at 10:37 of the third period, and his goal ultimately forced overtime. The 30-year-old blueliner has chipped in with a goal, three helpers and 15 shots on net through 11 playoff games. He's added 38 hits, 19 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating while taking on a defensive role in the Golden Knights' top four.

McNabb registered an assist, three hits and three blocked shots in Monday's 4-1 win over the Canadiens in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

Chandler Stephenson won a faceoff back to McNabb, who set up Shea Theodore for the opening tally. The 30-year-old McNabb is up to three assists, 11 shots on net, 34 hits and 14 blocked shots in eight games. He's a solid defensive presence in the top four for the Golden Knights.

McNabb recorded an assist and four hits in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Avalanche in Game 6.

EDGE Analysis

McNabb logged just 12:11 of ice time Thursday, but there was no report of an injury involved. He's been limited to seven playoff contests after he spent battling COVID-19. The defenseman has two assists, a plus-5 rating, 31 hits and 11 blocked shots in the postseason. He should be able to take on a heavy defensive assignment in the Stanley Cup Semifinals versus the Canadiens.

McNabb cleared COVID-19 protocols and will be in Sunday's Game 4 lineup against Colorado, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

McNabb has missed the last five games and will suit up for the first time this series. The 30-year-old blueliner has an assist and 17 hits in four playoff games. He'll skate in a top-four role alongside Shea Theodore on Sunday.

McNabb participated in Sunday's morning skate, which means he has cleared the NHL's COVID-19 protocols, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

McNabb last suited up for Game 4 against the Wild on May 24. It's unclear if he'll be eligible to return to the lineup as soon as Sunday's Game 4 against Colorado, though David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review-Journal believes McNabb won't be eligible to play. Regardless, the Golden Knights will likely opt to give the blueliner a couple practices to get back up to speed before inserting him back into game action, so Tuesday's Game 5 is a more realistic return date for McNabb.
