McCabe is projected to be a healthy scratch for Wednesday's home game against the Canadiens, The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sabres coach Dan Blysma explained his reasoning for McCabe riding the pine. "He's made a few gaffes with the puck in costly situations, costly areas," Bylsma said. "He's kind of gotten into a bit of a hole as a result of it and lost a little confidence with his puck play, and we've seen that the last couple games." McCabe's inability to control the puck contributed to a minus-12 rating over 15 games since the beginning of March. At most, he'll have two more chances to redeem himself this season.
