Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Brayden McNabb took a puck to the face that knocked him out of Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final. A slap shot from Carolina's Nikolaj Ehlers hit McNabb square in the face just past the midway point of the first period. McNabb dropped his stick, went down to the ice and grabbed his nose as he skated immediately off and down the tunnel. McNabb did not return, and Vegas went the rest of the way with just five defensemen. Coach John Tortorella had no update when asked about McNabb's condition after the Hurricanes' overtime victory that tied the series.
