Defenseman Brayden McNabb is expected to participate in pre-game warmups tonight to determine his status for Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet (@FriedgeHNIC).
McNabb reportedly arrived at the arena 90 minutes prior to the scheduled start of the game. After dealing with recent health concerns, the veteran defenseman will test his availability during the warmup period to see if he is healthy enough to suit up for the contest. His presence in the lineup would be a significant factor for the defensive unit as the series continues.
Television coverage for Game 3 is scheduled to begin shortly on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+. The official lineup will be confirmed by the team following the conclusion of the pre-game skate. McNabb has been a key contributor on the blue line throughout the postseason, and his status remains the primary focus heading into puck drop.
