Brayden McNabb delivered some thunderous checks in Tuesday's loss to the New York Islanders in his second career game at the NHL level. "That's the thing I have to keep doing," said McNabb, who posted a team-high six hits during his debut Saturday. "It's such a big part of my game and I don't want to shy away from it. I'm comfortable with doing it and I want to keep doing it. This was only my second game. You come into the league and you try to make a statement." His physical nature and potential to pick up points should make him an interesting player to watch in the future, but he is getting a good chance to showcase his skills now due to injuries on Buffalo's back end.
