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.

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.
