If there’s one thing, the Vegas Golden Knights have a lot of; it’s the defensive depth. They went into the year with nine defensemen, and they still have all of them, and they haven’t used any as potential trade chips. Injuries have hit Vegas hard on the blue line as they have already lost Jon Merrill and Luca Sbisa.
Players such as Shea Theodore and Brad Hunt have carried much more of a workload than anyone ever expected. But on Tuesday night, the Vegas defense lost another critical piece to its blue line as Brayden McNabb is day to day with an undisclosed injury.
