McNabb recorded an assist, three blocked shots and two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
McNabb's first point of the year came on his shot that Brett Howden tipped in. Offense remains a secondary part of McNabb's game -- he's a big and physical defensive presence on the Golden Knights' blue line. The 31-year-old has 10 blocked shots, four hits, five shots on net and a plus-3 rating in four contests this season.

McNabb recorded 18 points, 179 blocked shots, 154 hits and a plus-10 rating in 69 games this season.
EDGE Analysis
McNabb's 18 points represented his second-best season offense. His physicality wasn't as present as usual -- he'd reached 200 hits in four of the last six campaigns -- but his 179 blocks represented a career high. The 31-year-old signed a three-year contract extension in January, so he'll likely continue to quietly fill whatever role the Golden Knights need handled heading into 2022-23.
