With Brayden McNabb sustaining an upper-body injury on Wednesday against Nashville, the Golden Knights have brought up an extra blueliner. The team announced (Twitter link) that they’ve recalled Jaycob Megna from AHL Henderson.
The 33-year-old is in his first season in the organization after spending 2024-25 with Florida. Vegas saw fit to give Megna a two-year, one-way deal worth $800K per season for situations like this where he could be playable depth where needed or as injury insurance so as to not disrupt the development of their prospects with the Silver Knights.
This is Megna’s third recall of the season although the first two didn’t result in any playing time. He does, however, have 193 career NHL appearances under his belt between five different organizations where he has 27 points along with 313 blocks and 258 hits in 17:38 of playing time per game. Meanwhile, he has two goals and four assists in 23 games so far this season with Henderson.
With Megna’s recall, Vegas is up to a full 23-player roster.
