Vegas is set to play Game 6 against the Minnesota Wild on Wednesday, hoping to close out the series, which currently sits at 3-2 in the Golden Knights’ favour. McNabb has appeared in four of the first five games of the series, posting one point while averaging 17:25 minutes of ice-time per night.

Megna’s Avalanche are currently sitting idle after sweeping the St. Louis Blues, with the club awaiting the conclusion of the rest of the Stanley Cup Playoffs’ first-round series. Megna did not appear in any of Colorado’s first four post-season games.
