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 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.

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.

McNabb registered an assist, four hits and a plus-4 rating in Sunday's 6-0 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
He wasn't directly involved in the offense much, only helping out on William Karlsson's third-period tally, but McNabb was typically on the ice for the scoring. The defender has four points and 62 hits through 22 contests this year.

EDGE Analysis
McNabb set up a late goal by Nate Schmidt in the third period, snapping the former's 15-game pointless stretch. It's just McNabb's third point of the year -- he's added 57 hits, 36 blocked shots and 26 PIM as a mostly physical and defensive player.

McNabb will look to snap a nine-game pointless streak when the Golden Knights face the Canadiens on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
McNabb can be forgiven for any lengthy point droughts, as the stay-at-home defenseman is on pace for 246 hits and 145 blocked shots. It's up to you to determine how far the gaudy defensive totals can take you in fantasy pools.
