Coach Ted Nolan said Wednesday that McCabe (undisclosed) would be out for about "a week or so." It was expected that McCabe was just receiving a maintenance day when he was held out of practice earlier this week, but Nolan acknowledged that the blue liner had been dealing with a nagging injury that wasn't showing much improvement. With a week off the ice, the hope is McCabe will be able to put the issue behind him. If that ends up materializing, he could reclaim a spot on the team's third defensive pairing.
