McNabb got up and skated immediately off the ice and to the dressing room.
ABC reported that he went to the hospital for further evaluation.
The defenseman was one of the stars of Game 1 as he had three assists in the Golden Knights’ 5-4 victory against the Carolina Hurricanes. He never had more than two assists in a playoff game before Tuesday’s game.
