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.

McNabb (undisclosed) won't play in Saturday's Game 4 versus the Wild, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review Journal reports.
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.
