McNabb scored a goal, blocked six shots, levied two hits and added four PIM in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Physical as ever, McNabb was also able to put the Golden Knights ahead for the first time in the game with a tally at 10:51 of the second period. The 30-year-old blueliner has exceeded expectations on offense with six points in 15 outings. He's added 32 hits, 41 blocks, eight PIM and an even plus-minus rating while often playing a defensive role in the bottom four.

McNabb produced an assist and two hits in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
McNabb helped out on a Jonas Rondbjerg goal in the first period. The 30-year-old McNabb also saw a bump in ice time, playing 24:43 in the contest after Alec Martinez left the contest with a facial laceration. McNabb could jump into a top-four role if Martinez is forced to miss additional time. Through 14 games, McNabb has five points, 30 hits, 35 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating.

McNabb scored an empty-net goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
McNabb added the final insurance in the Golden Knights' comeback win. The 30-year-old defenseman has done reasonably well on offense with four points through 11 contests. He's added 30 blocks, 25 hits and just eight shots on net. While he can chip in some points, he's much more likely to produce in the physical categories, which makes him a low-end fantasy option at best.

McNabb registered an assist, five hits and four blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Through six games, McNabb has been surprisingly productive with three assists. He's seeing more playing time with Alec Martinez (lower body) sidelined. McNabb has added 17 hits, 16 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating to supplement his offensive production.

McNabb notched an assist and three hits in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
McNabb earned a helper on Nolan Patrick's first goal as a Golden Knight in the second period. The 30-year-old McNabb has been solid as a depth defenseman so far with two helpers, 12 hits, 12 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through four games. He won't keep racking up a point every other game, but he's usually quite adept in the physical aspects of the sport.

McNabb logged an assist, four hits and five blocked shots in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
McNabb is mostly a physical player, but he was able to add the secondary helper on defense partner Shea Theodore's first-period tally. The 30-year-old McNabb has already racked up eight hits and blocked shots each in two games, and he should remain in a defense-first role in the top four. Considering he has 17 points in 112 games across the last two seasons, fantasy managers shouldn't expect a scoring breakout this year.

McNabb (upper leg) will play Thursday versus the Coyotes, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
McNabb was hurt in the Golden Knights' first game and later diagnosed with a charley horse. His focus was being ready for Opening Night versus the Kraken on Oct. 12, but it appears he'll be ready before then. A steady defender, the 30-year-old blueliner will likely max out around 15 points while offering a healthy share of hits and blocked shots.

McNabb (upper leg) participated in Monday's practice, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
McNabb suffered a minor injury during the Sep. 26 preseason tilt with San Jose and the Golden Knights didn't attempt to rush him back. The 30-year-old defenseman should be good to go for Opening Night and could see some action before the preseason ends.

McNabb (upper body) won't play in Friday's preseason clash with the Kings but is expected to be ready for Opening Night against Seattle on Oct. 12, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Over the course of his nine-year NHL career, McNabb has reached the 20-point threshold just once back in 2014-15. Given his limited offensive upside, few fantasy players should be impacted even if McNabb does miss some regular-season action.

McNabb didn't suffer any structural damage when he was injured in Sunday's preseason matchup with the Sharks, but he is dealing with a charley horse, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Golden Knights aren't going to rush McNabb back before he's fully recovered from his injury, but at this point there's no reason to believe he's in any danger of missing regular-season action. The 30-year-old defender picked up eight points and 98 hits while averaging 19:18 of ice time through 41 games last campaign.
