Golden Knights Defenseman Brayden McNabb Returns for Game 3 After Taking Puck to Face
Brayden McNabb wore a full face cage and logged 35:47 of ice time after returning two days after an 87-mph puck to the face.
- Brayden McNabb returned to the lineup for Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Carolina Hurricanes, two days after taking an 87-mph one-timer to the face in the previous contest.
- The 'Original Misfit' left Game 2 after a puck struck him just above the nose, forcing him to miss the remainder of that 4-3 overtime loss.
- Donning a full face cage, the defenseman finished with two assists, including the primary helper on Shea Theodore's game-winner in double overtime to give the Knights a 5-4 win and a 2-1 series lead.
- When introduced in the starting lineup Saturday night, McNabb was met with a thunderous ovation inside T-Mobile Arena, marking one of the loudest moments in nine years of franchise history.
- McNabb said he felt "pretty good" during his return, crediting partner Shea Theodore's support as he adjusted to the cage; the veteran has played 116 playoff games in his career.
