On June 26, 2009, McNabb was drafted by the Buffalo Sabres. He attended Athol Murray College of Notre Dame, a prep school in Wilcox, Saskatchewan, where he played alongside former Buffalo Sabre Tyler Myers, also a defenceman.[2]

On May 18, 2011, he was signed by the Sabres to a three year entry level contract. On November 26, 2011, the Buffalo Sabres recalled McNabb from affiliate the Rochester Americans.[3][4] McNabb scored his first NHL goal on December 26, 2011 against Tomas Vokoun of the Washington Capitals.[5]

On March 5, 2014, McNabb, along with his teammate Jonathan Parker, and two draft picks, were traded to the Los Angeles Kings for right winger Hudson Fasching and defenseman Nicolas Deslauriers.[6] At the end of the 2013–14 season McNabb became a restricted free agent and was re-signed by the Kings to a two-year contract.[7]
