McNabb Suspended for Game 6 After Late Hit on Poehling in Game 5

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Brayden McNabb has been suspended for Game 6 of the second-round playoff series against Anaheim. The NHL Department of Player Safety issued a one-game ban following a disciplinary hearing Wednesday for a late hit on Ducks center Ryan Poehling. McNabb was assessed a five-minute major penalty for interference and ejected nine minutes into Game 5 on Tuesday. He will be unavailable for Thursday's crucial matchup in Anaheim, where the Golden Knights hold a 3-2 series lead and aim to wrap up the series without one of their top defenders.
