Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Brayden McNabb is set to travel with the team after sustaining a puck to the face during Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Carolina Hurricanes. McNabb was taken to the hospital following the incident, which occurred in the first period of the Hurricanes' 4-3 overtime victory. Coach John Tortorella confirmed McNabb's travel plans on Friday, although no further medical details were released.

This incident leaves the best-of-seven series tied at 1-1 as it heads to Las Vegas for Game 3. McNabb, a veteran presence on the blue line, has been a crucial part of the Golden Knights' postseason journey, contributing offensively and defensively throughout their deep playoff runs, including a past Stanley Cup victory.
