McNabb (hand/arm) is under evaluation for the injury suffered in Thursday's game versus the Bruins, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
McNabb left the contest late in the second period and didn't return. Granger reports the defenseman is having imaging done on the injury to determine the severity, though more information probably won't be available until prior to Friday's game versus the Ducks. If McNabb can't play, Dylan Coghlan would likely draw into the lineup.

He's at two goals, eight assists, 120 blocked shots, 102 hits and a plus-8 rating in 47 appearances overall this season, though he entered Tuesday with no points in his previous 10 outings.

McNabb racked up 10 hits, two blocked shots and two shots on net in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
McNabb is never one to shy away from physical play, but his 10 hits Monday doubled his single-game season high. The 30-year-old blueliner has seen an uptick in ice time since Nicolas Hague (wrist) exited the lineup earlier in January. McNabb has nine points, 102 blocked shots, 89 hits, 41 shots on net and 28 PIM through 40 appearances, though his inconsistent offense limits his fantasy appeal.

McNabb notched an assist and four blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
McNabb has picked up assists in his each of the last two games after going five games without a point. While it's not unheard of for McNabb to go on short bursts of offense, he remains much more of a defensive player. The 30-year-old blueliner is at nine points, 88 blocked shots, 75 hits, 32 shots on net and 28 PIM in 36 contests.

McNabb recorded an assist and four blocked shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
McNabb helped out on the first of Mattias Janmark's two tallies in the third period. The assist snapped a five-game point drought for McNabb. The 30-year-old is much more of a physical presence than a scoring threat on the blue line. He's up to eight points, 84 blocked shots, 74 hits, 32 shots on net, 28 PIM and a plus-5 rating in 35 contests. He matched his scoring output from last season.

McNabb logged an assist, five blocked shots and three shots on net in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
McNabb earned the secondary assist on Jonathan Marchessault's empty-net goal. That helper snapped a 13-game point drought for McNabb, who managed 33 hits and 20 blocked shots while his offense was quiet. The 30-year-old started the season unreasonably well, so a cooldown could have been expected. He's at seven points, 66 hits, 66 blocks, 25 shots on net and a plus-4 rating in 29 outings overall.
