McNabb (lower body) is with the Golden Knights for their current six-game road trip and is close to returning to action.
EDGE Analysis
McNabb has been sidelined since late January with a lower-body issue, but it appears as though he should be ready to return sooner rather than later. The 30-year-old blueliner went scoreless through seven games before suffering his long-term injury.

McNabb is dealing with a lower-body injury and has been designated for long-term injured reserve, ruling him out at least the next 10 games.
EDGE Analysis
Based on the team's timeline, McNabb won't be back until late-February at the earliest. Considering the defenseman garnered just five shots ins even games this season, few fantasy players are likely to be impacted by his lengthy layoff. In the meantime, Zach Whitecloud, Nick Holden and Dylan Coghlan all figure to see more minutes, especially if Alex Pietrangelo (COVID-19 protocols) misses any time.

McNabb (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Ben Gotz of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear how McNabb got hurt, but he will now miss at least three games. His earliest return date is Feb. 5 versus the Kings. In a corresponding move, the Golden Knights promoted Nick Holden from the taxi squad to the active roster.

McNabb recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Blackhawks in Game 5.
EDGE Analysis
McNabb set up Max Pacioretty for Vegas' first goal of the contest. It's just the second helper in eight postseason games for McNabb. He's added nine shots on goal, 22 hits and 22 blocked shots. The 29-year-old is best known for his physicality -- McNabb had 201 hits, 133 blocked shots and only nine points in 71 regular-season contests.

McNabb ranks ninth in the league with 201 hits in 2019-20.
EDGE Analysis
McNabb's teammate Ryan Reaves leads the way with 316 hits, with both skaters having appeared in all 71 games prior to the NHL's hiatus. McNabb has already surpassed last season's hit totals, and he needs just 15 more to eclipse his career-high mark from the 2017-18 campaign. The rugged defenseman is lagging behind offensively with only two goals and seven assists comprising his point total, but he's averaging 20:01 of ice time and remains an integral top-pairing option for a Vegas team that sits atop the Pacific Division standings.

McNabb had two assists and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
McNabb hadn't enjoyed a multi-point performance since Dec. 2018 until he assisted on both Vegas goals Tuesday night. The 29-year-old has two goals and seven assists in 55 games this season.

McNabb hasn't recorded a point and is minus-8 over nine games since the calendar flipped to 2020.
EDGE Analysis
Despite the Golden Knights replacing coach Gerard Gallant with Peter DeBoer, the Saskatchewan native still finds himself in a top-pairing capacity, having averaged 20:10 of ice time since the change. However, the sloppy defensive play is a bit disconcerting since he boasts a career plus-54 rating between Buffalo, Los Angeles and Vegas.

McNabb posted an assist, six hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 7-3 loss to the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
McNabb's fifth helper on the year came on a Ryan Reaves goal in the first period. The 28-year-old defenseman has seven points, 119 hits and 70 blocked shots in 40 games this season. He can be a good roster-filler in DFS formats that reward physicality, but he shouldn't be relied on for offense.

McNabb registered five hits and five blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
McNabb has gone without a point in his last eight games, but he's amassed 22 hits and 20 blocks in that span. The defense-first blueliner has six points, 111 hits, 66 blocks and 32 PIM in 37 outings this year.

McNabb scored a goal and dished seven hits in Thursday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
McNabb was able to beat Aaron Dell in the third period for the Golden Knights' only tally of the contest. The defenseman has three points and 17 hits in his last five games. The offense is a bit of a surprise, but the physicality is par for the course. McNabb is up to five points, 70 hits, 28 PIM and 40 blocked shots in 24 games this season.
