Coach Darryl Sutter indicated Sunday that McNabb, who exited Saturday's game with an arm injury, is wearing an arm sling and will be reevaluated in Chicago on Sunday, Lisa Dillman of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The extent of McNabb's injury remains unclear at this point, but it will likely cost him at least Sunday's game in addition to Saturday. More information should arrive following his evaluation, but his status shouldn't concern many in fantasy leagues given his lack of offensive production, but he had seen an increase in ice time early this season.

The Kings signed McNabb to a two-year contract extension Saturday. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
EDGE Analysis
McNabb has decent passing skills from the blue line, but he's primarily a defensive specialist. A 25-year-old who has yet to appear in 200 NHL games, McNabb has posted a plus-11 rating in each of the past two seasons, showing maturity beyond his years.

McNabb had two assists in Saturday's win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
A rare multi-point effort for McNabb, who has just 11 points in 74 games. The 25-year-old doesn't play on the power play and isn't known for his offense, but his 88 PIM and plus-10 rating make him valuable in some very deep leagues.

McNabb scored his first goal of the season and picked up a helper in Sunday's win over the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
While McNabb doesn't play on the power play and isn't seen as a huge offensive contributor, the 24-year-old is putting together a nice season for the Kings, recording six points and a plus-6 rating through 25 games. McNabb is averaging 21:28 of ice time this season and should deliver a second consecutive season in the 20-point range.

McNabb provided the game-winning goal in Saturday's 4-1 triumph over the Sharks.
It went down as just the second goal of the season for McNabb, but he wasn't a total drain in the scoring categories, as he provided 22 assists in 71 games despite averaging only 15:54 of ice time. With Robyn Regehr announcing after Saturday's season finale that he would retire, opportunity knocks for McNabb to take on a more sizable role for the Kings in 2015-16.

McNabb broke out with a huge game Tuesday, scoring his second goal of the season and adding two assists -- one on the power play -- in a win over Colorado.
McNabb's been a modest offensive contributor, so despite his apparent upside, this kind of game is quite out of the blue. But he now has five points in his last six contests, so things are certainly trending up.

McNabb tallied found the net on one of his two shot attempts in Friday's loss to the Ducks, ending a 79-game goalless skid.
McNabb's previous tally had came while he was a member of the Sabres back on Dec. 26, 2011. The third-pairing blueliner offers most of his contributions in the form of hits and PIM, though his total of 17 assists in 55 games illustrates that he's not totally devoid of offensive upside.

McNabb recorded an assist in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Flames.McNabb has reentered the Kings' lineup the last two games while Alec Martinez (concussion) has been out, notching three helpers. The young blueliner hasn't seen much ice time this season while skating primarily on the third pairing, but he's provided a decent amount of offense in that role. He's picked up an assist in one third of the games he's played.
