McNabb has three assists in the Stanley Cup Playoffs and is averaging 21:14 of ice time, including 2:29 per game short-handed, second on the Golden Knights behind defenseman Alex Pietrangelo (2:58). He leads Vegas with 20 blocked shots.

Edmonton outscored the Kings 4-1 with Klingberg on the ice and controlled more than 63 percent of the expected goals. When Klingberg was paired with Jake Walman, Edmonton’s results were even better. The two of them (or even just Klingberg) managing something similar against the Golden Knights would be a major development.
