McNabb was hit in the visor by Nikolaj Ehlers’ hard shot during Thursday’s Game 2 and dropped to the ice. He went to the dressing room while grabbing his face and was taken to the hospital, according to ABC. He was able to fly home with the team on Friday.
He played a little more than five minutes before being hurt in Game 2 but is averaging nearly 20 minutes a game in the playoffs. He’s known more for his defense and penalty killing, but had three assists in the Golden Knights’ Game 1 win.
McNabb has missed only one game this postseason, when was suspended for one game for interference during the second round.
