The Golden Knights confirmed Saturday that McNabb was placed on the NHL's COVID-19 protocols list after testing positive for the virus, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

McNabb will need to submit multiple negative tests before being cleared to rejoin Vegas' lineup, so he could be facing a lengthy absence. Either way, he's only picked up eight points through 41 games this campaign, so fantasy managers shouldn't need to track his status.

McNabb remains in the NHL's COVID-19 protocols ahead of Friday's Game 7 versus Minnesota, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

McNabb will miss a second straight contest due to the league's virus protocols. Another update on the 30-year-old blueliner's status should be released once he's activated off the protocols list.

McNabb (COVID-19 protocols) will not play Wednesday's Game 6 at Minnesota, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

McNabb isn't exactly a fantasy darling, as his eight points in 41 games this year suggest, but he's a solid rearguard and a key cog in the Golden Knights' back end. His presence will surely be missed on the ice in enemy territory Wednesday. If Minnesota is able to extend the series with a victory, McNabb's status for Game 7 on Friday is unclear at this point.

McNabb (undisclosed) will be in Monday's Game 5 lineup against Minnesota, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

McNabb wasn't available for Game 4 on Saturday but he'll return to his usual top-four role Monday. The 30-year-old has one point, 14 hits and a plus-3 rating in three postseason games.

McNabb's (undisclosed) status remains up in the air ahead of Monday's Game 5 against Minnesota, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

McNabb missed Game 4 due to this injury but participated in Monday's morning skate. His availability could be tied to that of Alec Martinez (undisclosed), as the Golden Knights may feel the need to speed up McNabb's return timetable if Martinez, who is a game-time decision, ends up being unavailable.

EDGE Analysis

McNabb had an assist in Thursday's Game 3, but he only played 16:44 in that contest. He did not participate in Saturday's morning skate. While the nature of his injury is unknown, the Golden Knights will have to contend with a major loss to their blue line -- although not a high-scoring one, as the 30-year-old had only eight points in 41 regular-season games. Nicolas Hague will rejoin the lineup in McNabb's absence.

McNabb posted an assist, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Wild in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

McNabb got the puck to Chandler Stephenson, who then set up Mark Stone for the first of the Golden Knights' five unanswered tallies in the contest. The 30-year-old McNabb doesn't make many contributions on offense. He had just eight points to go with 98 hits, 76 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating in 41 regular-season contests. The veteran blueliner will serve as a steady defensive presence in the top four during the postseason.

McNabb produced an assist and went plus-4 in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

McNabb was rarely much of a scoring threat this season, contributing eight points in 41 contests. He lost nearly six weeks to a lower-body injury in February and March. The physical defenseman added 98 hits, 76 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating, which could give him some appeal in DFS during the playoffs since he's solid in the non-scoring categories.

McNabb posted an assist, four hits and two PIM in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

McNabb earned the secondary helper on a Shea Theodore goal in the first period. The 30-year-old McNabb doesn't make many contributions to the offense -- he has only seven points in 36 outings this year. The Canadian blueliner has added 83 hits, 68 blocked shots, 35 shots on net, 14 PIM and a plus-8 rating.

McNabb posted an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis
