McNabb recorded an assist, three hits, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
McNabb made a heads-up play to spring Ivan Barbashev for a breakaway on the Golden Knights' third goal. It's good to see McNabb on the scoresheet early -- his primary purpose on the ice is to apply a physical and defensive presence. He'll likely be leaned on for bigger defensive minutes until Alec Martinez (upper body) is ready to return from injured reserve.

McNabb notched an assist, logged three hits and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Panthers in Game 5.
EDGE Analysis
Even McNabb was able to get in on the fun in the Golden Knights' huge scoring effort to win the Stanley Cup. He chipped in the secondary helper on Nicolas Roy's tally late in the third period. McNabb played to his strengths in the postseason with four assists, a plus-7 rating, 42 hits and 54 blocked shots over 21 appearances. The 32-year-old will likely be back with Vegas next season as a defensive presence in the top four -- he has one year left on his current contract.

McNabb notched an assist and two hits in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Panthers in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
McNabb set up his defense partner, Shea Theodore, for a go-ahead goal in the second period. Two of McNabb's three assists this postseason have come in the last four games. The 32-year-old remains primarily a defensive presence on the second pairing. In that role, he's racked up 36 hits, 40 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 17 playoff appearances.

McNabb recorded an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and four PIM in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
McNabb set up a Jonathan Marchessault go-ahead goal in the second period for his lone positive contribution in the contest. The bad news was McNabb's pair of high-sticking penalties, which led to two of the Stars' three goals. Through 14 playoff games, the physical defenseman has just two assists to go with 30 hits, 32 blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-4 rating. He'll continue to play a defensive role in the Golden Knights' top four.

McNabb is hardly known for his offense, but he's remained a physical presence with 19 hits, 16 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through seven playoff contests. He remains in a top-four role.

EDGE Analysis
McNabb sat out Thursday's series-clinching win over Winnipeg. It's unclear at this time if he will be ready for the start of the second round of the playoffs. If McNabb remans sidelined, Ben Hutton or Brayden Pachal could fill in for Vegas on the back end.

McNabb logged an assist and three hits in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
McNabb had gone seven games without a point, but he had 15 hits, 15 blocked shots and nine PIM to provide some grit during his slump on offense. The 32-year-old defenseman is up to 17 points through 70 contests, one point shy of matching his production from last year. He's added 176 hits, 166 blocked shots, 79 shots on net, 39 PIM and a plus-13 rating while playing in a top-four role.
