McNabb sent his former team packing by scoring the lone goal in Tuesday's 1-0 Game 4 win over Los Angeles.

EDGE Analysis

McNabb spent the previous three campaigns with the Kings before joining the nascent Vegas franchise, but he helped unceremoniously end his old club's season with a conference quarterfinals sweep. The blueliner lit the lamp on his only shot 4:04 into the middle frame and played a key role in keeping Los Angeles' comeback bid at bay with his defense, logging five hits and five blocked shots in 23:36 of ice time.

While McNabb (undisclosed) has been medically cleared to play, he won't return Thursday night against the Jets, Steve Carp of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carp confirms that Jason Garrison will remain in the lineup as McNabb completely rounds out his recovery from an undisclosed ailment. It's been an inspiring campaign for No. 27, as the 6-foot-4, 216-pound McNabb has a plus-14 rating surrounding 129 hits, 111 blocked shots and 10 points through 44 games on the season ledger.

Per coach Gerard Gallant, McNabb (undisclosed) has been cleared to play, Steve Carp of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

McNabb is expected to rejoin the Golden Knights in Winnipeg ahead of Thursday's matchup with the Jets, but he won't necessarily be in the lineup for that contest. The 2009 third-round pick hasn't produced much offense this season, totaling two goals and 10 points in 44 games, but he's averaged 19:58 of ice time per contest while taking on a major role with the team's top penalty-killing unit.

McNabb (undisclosed) will not feature in Tuesday's clash with the Flames, Steve Carp of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

While coach Gerard Gallant did rule McNabb out Tuesday, he also told reporters he expects the 26-year-old to be available at some point during the team's six-game road trip. The blueliner is not exactly an offensive force -- he has just two goals and eight assists in 44 outings -- but is a defensive stalwart that has helped keep the Golden Knights on top of the Pacific Division. The Saskatchewan native's primary fantasy production comes in the form of hits (129) and blocks (111) and should provide middling value in league's that utilize those categories.

McNabb (undisclosed) will not be in the lineup against the Islanders on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

McNabb will be replaced in the lineup by recently recalled Jason Garrison. The 26-year-old McNabb's ailment is just the latest in a string of blue line injuries that has already seen Jon Merrill (undisclosed), Clayton Stoner (undisclosed) and Luca Sbisa (hand) placed on injured reserve. If McNabb is out long term, the Golden Knights could struggle to hold on to the Pacific Division lead.

McNabb is considered day-to-day with an undisclosed injury.

EDGE Analysis

The specific nature of McNabb's ailment remains unclear, but the 27-year-old blueliner should be considered questionable at best for Vegas' matchup with the Islanders at this point. The Golden Knights currently only have five healthy defensemen on their roster, so they'll likely choose to recall another blueliner from their minor-league affiliate ahead of Thursday's tilt as added insurance in case McNabb's unable to go.

McNabb (undisclosed) wasn't on the bench to start the third period of Tuesday's game against the Blue Jackets, Steve Carp of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

McNabb has made his living this season with 127 hits and 108 blocked shots on his way to a plus-15 rating. He has added some offense too, with two goals and 10 points, while averaging 20:08 of ice time through 43 games. Updates on the nature of his ailment should be available either postgame or after Wednesday's skate.

McNabb has failed to put a puck in the back of the net in 10 consecutive games.

EDGE Analysis

During his goal drought, McNabb has contributed three helpers, six PIM and 36 hits. The blueliner did reach the 20-point mark in 2014-15, but has otherwise never offered much in terms of offensive production. Ultimately, the 26-year-old is in the lineup for his defensive responsibilities, so fantasy owners probably shouldn't be banking on him for a lot of points.

McNabb signed a four-year, $10 million contract extension with the Golden Knights on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Just like that, McNabb owns the longest active contract among Golden Knights defensemen. The 26-year-old was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in July, but Vegas opted to retain the services of arguably their best shutdown skater, who came over from the Kings in the expansion draft. McNabb and Deryk Engelland share the team lead with a tidy plus-10 rating, but the former has just two assists for his only points through 20 games and therefore carries very little weight in fantasy land.

McNabb has failed to secure a point in 10 consecutive outings.

EDGE Analysis

McNabb's pointless streak compounds his extended goal drought that dates back to Oct. 22, 2016. While the defenseman is clearly not a prolific scorer, his increased role with the Golden Knights raised expectations that he might return to being the 20-plus point producer he was in 2014-15. With just two helpers on the year, it's hard to imagine the Saskatchewan native will get back to that threshold this season.
