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.

McNabb will take the day off for Sunday's tilt against Boston.

EDGE Analysis

After mainly being paired with Deryk Engelland throughout the first four games of the season, McNabb will be scratched Sunday. This should just be a regular rest day for the Canadian, and he'll likely return against Buffalo on Tuesday.

McNabb registered one shot on goal against Anaheim in a 4-2 preseason defeat.

EDGE Analysis

Although McNabb was limited offensively, he still collected four hits and blocked one shot. The 26-year-old is one of the more experienced defenseman on Las Vegas, and should see an uptick from his 15:04 average ice time he logged in the 2016-17 season for Los Angeles.

McNabb was selected from Los Angeles by the Golden Knights on Wednesday, John Shannon of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

McNabb was the perfect combination of age (26) and contract terms ($1.7 million) to make him a solid choice for the start-up franchise. The defenseman logged just 49 contests this season due to injury in which he garnered only four points. Fantasy owners shouldn't expect a sudden influx of scoring from the 26-year-old but reaching the 20-point mark -- as he did in 2014-15 -- is certainly within the realm of possibilities.

McNabb recorded an assist and a plus-5 rating through 16:38 of ice time during Thursday's win over Florida.

EDGE Analysis

McNabb is a depth defenseman for the Kings and receives very limited power-play time. Despite beginning 66.0 percent of his five-on-five shifts in the offensive zone, the 26-year-old rearguard has accumulated just two goals and four points this season. He's off the fantasy grid in most settings.
