Golden Knights' Brayden McNabb earns raves after playing with 2 dozen stitches from puck to face

Brayden McNabb showed up for Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals with at least two dozen stitches in his face that forced the Vegas Golden Knights defenseman to wear a caged helmet for the first time since his youth hockey days in Davidson, Saskatchewan. “It’s part of hockey,” McNabb said. After the Golden Knights took a 2-1 series lead over the Carolina Hurricanes with a 5-4, double-overtime victory on Saturday night, Vegas coach John Tortorella was a bit less measured in describing the 35-year-old McNabb.
