Golden Knights' Brayden McNabb: Adds insurance tally

McNabb has been a consistent physical presence, with 186 hits and 128 blocks in 72 games to go with his 15 points, which matches his mark from last season.

Golden Knights' Brayden McNabb: Helps close out win

McNabb also laid out six hits and went plus-2 in the contest. He's much better known for his defense, with 164 hits and 119 blocks in 64 appearances this season. Coach Gerard Gallant trusts the 28-year-old defender to play well in his own zone, which doesn't translate to having much fantasy relevance.

With just two points in his previous seven outings, McNabb hasn't provided much in terms of offensive production, but did manage to rack up the ancillary stats, as he registered 19 hits and 10 blocks in those contests. Despite being a mainstay in the Golden Knights' lineup, the 27-year-old provides low-end fantasy value in even the deepest of formats.

Golden Knights' Brayden McNabb: Hops in front of four shots

McNabb now has 18 hits and 10 blocked shots through seven games, but he remains pointless with a minus-1 rating. Nevertheless, he's not relied upon for scoring, as he racked up 225 hits, 176 blocked shots and just 15 points in 76 games last year.

Golden Knights' Brayden McNabb: Pots empty-netter in win

Last season with the Golden Knights, McNabb played just over five more minutes per game compared to the year before, which he spent in Los Angeles. In Vegas, the 27-year-old is counted on to play top-pairing minutes but lacks elite point-production capabilities. In his six years of NHL service, McNabb has exceeded 20 points in a single season only once.
