McNabb (upper body) is considered week-to-week, SinBin Vegas reports Friday.
McNabb sustained the injury during Wednesday's 4-2 loss to Nashville. He has two goals, three points, 18 PIM, 63 hits and 98 blocks in 38 appearances in 2025-26. Jaycob Megna was summoned from AHL Henderson on Thursday and should play regularly during McNabb's absence.

Golden Knights' Jaycob Megna: Promoted from minors
Rotowire
Megna was summoned from AHL Henderson on Thursday.
Megna has two goals and six points in 23 outings with Henderson this season. He might draw into Vegas' lineup Friday in St. Louis if Brayden McNabb (upper body) isn't able to play.
Golden Knights' Ben Hutton: Sets career high in goals
Rotowire
Hutton scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Predators.
The goal was Hutton's fourth over 13 games in December, and it's career-best sixth tally of the season. The 32-year-old's 11 points are his most in the last four campaigns. He's gotten steady playing time with 31 appearances so far as Vegas has often had at least one blueliner unavailable. Hutton has added 48 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in a bottom-four role.

Golden Knights' Mark Stone: Strikes early on power play
Rotowire
Stone scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Predators.
Stone reached the 10-goal mark for the year with his tally 5:35 into the game. He's provided more of a finishing touch lately in the absence of Jack Eichel (lower body) -- Stone has six goals and three assists over his last nine outings. For the season, the winger is up to 31 points (14 on the power play), 55 shots on net and a plus-7 rating across 22 appearances in a top-six role.
Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Two helpers in Wednesday's loss
Rotowire
Dorofeyev picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Predators.
The 25-year-old winger sparked Vegas to an early 2-0 lead, but the team's offense went cold after the first 10 minutes of the contest. Dorofeyev has been locked in to close out 2025, producing four goals and 10 points over the last 10 games, including six points (three goals, three assists) with the man advantage, and he's already one power-play point shy of tying the career-high 17 he racked up in 2024-25.

Golden Knights' Akira Schmid: Early lead slips away on NYE
Rotowire
Schmid made 15 saves in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Predators.
The Golden Knights grabbed a 2-0 lead before the midway point in the first period, but their offense went cold the rest of the way and Schmid couldn't make the early advantage hold up. The 25-year-old netminder has given up nine goals on just 44 shots over his last two starts, and on the season he's posted an 11-4-4 record with a 2.50 GAA and .895 save percentage. Adin Hill (lower body) still lacks a clear target date for his return, so Schmid will continue battling Carter Hart for playing time into 2026.

Golden Knights' Jack Eichel: Will travel with team
Rotowire
Eichel (lower body) will join the Golden Knights on their three-game road trip, which begins Friday in St. Louis, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
It's not clear yet if Eichel will play, but it's a positive sign that he'll travel. He missed his seventh consecutive game Wednesday versus the Predators. After Friday, the Golden Knights visit the Blackhawks on Sunday and the Jets on Tuesday.

Golden Knights' Brayden McNabb: Exits with upper-body injury
Rotowire
McNabb sustained an upper-body injury in Wednesday's game versus the Predators, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
McNabb didn't play after getting hurt in the third period. The defenseman's status wasn't updated after the game, leaving him in doubt for Friday versus the Blues. The Golden Knights will likely need to call up a defenseman from AHL Henderson to provide additional depth -- if McNabb is unavailable, there are currently just five blueliners on Vegas' roster.

Golden Knights' Jack Eichel: Remains out Wednesday
Rotowire
Eichel (lower body) is expected to miss Wednesday's game against Nashville, per SinBin Vegas.
Eichel hasn't been in the lineup since Dec. 13 because of the injury. He has 12 goals and 41 points in 31 appearances in 2025-26. Eichel was regarded as a game-time call Wednesday, so perhaps he's getting close to returning. His next opportunity to play will come Friday in St. Louis.

Golden Knights' William Karlsson: Unlikely to make Olympic roster
Rotowire
Karlsson (lower body) is not expected to be available for Sweden's Olympic roster, Darren Dreger of TSN reports Tuesday.
While this isn't an official update on his status from the Golden Knights, it's safe to assume he won't be back on the NHL roster until after the Olympics as well. Karlsson has already missed nearly two months and looks to be out for another two months at a minimum due to his lower-body injury. It was previously reported that he was expected to be back before the Olympic break, but without an update from Vegas, his timeline to return remains murky.
Eichel (lower body) is going to be a game-time decision Wednesday against Nashville, according to SinBin Vegas.
Eichel has sat out six straight contests but appears to be closing in on a return to game action, even if he's unable to give it a go Wednesday. The star center was rolling prior to getting hurt, earning four goals and 17 points over his last 12 games. Once he's back in the lineup, Mitch Marner will shift back to the wing, which will provide Vegas with more depth up the middle in the form of Eichel and Tomas Hertl.

Golden Knights' Ivan Barbashev: Provides two assists in loss
Rotowire
Barbashev notched two assists, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Wild.
Barbashev set up Brayden McNabb and Mark Stone for goals, but it was too late to make a difference after the Wild's hot start. The Golden Knights have been a bit shaky lately, but Barbashev has posted a goal and four assists over his last three outings. For the season, the 30-year-old is up to 30 points (12 goals, 18 helpers), 59 shots on net, 58 hits and a plus-7 rating across 37 appearances in a top-line role.

Golden Knights' Brayden McNabb: Nets goal in Monday's loss
Rotowire
McNabb scored a goal on four shots and blocked five shots in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Wild.
McNabb has contributed two goals over 12 games in December, but he's also gone minus-5 with 23 hits, 27 blocks and 14 shots on net this month. The 34-year-old blueliner continues to function as a shutdown defenseman, though he may be struggling a bit without hisusual partner, Shea Theodore, who is out with an upper-body injury. McNabb has three points, 33 shots on net, 97 blocks, 63 hits, 18 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 37 appearances this season.

Golden Knights' Mark Stone: Finds twine in loss
Rotowire
Stone scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Wild.
Stone has three goals and three helpers over his last six outings. The 33-year-old winger's goal Monday had no impact on the result, but it's good to see him continually chipping in offense. He's up to nine goals, 30 points, 53 shots on net and a plus-8 rating through 21 appearances this season.
