McCabe notched an assist and blocked three shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Senators in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
The helper was McCabe's first point in four playoff contests. The 31-year-old blueliner has added 11 blocks, three hits, two shots on net and a plus-2 rating. He missed the last seven games of the regular season due to an upper-body injury, but he's had no trouble stepping back into a top-four role during postseason play. McCabe had 23 points, 118 hits, 135 blocks and a plus-23 rating over 66 regular-season outings, so he'll fill more of a shutdown role in the playoffs.

McCabe (undisclosed) won't be an option versus Buffalo on Tuesday, Mark Masters of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCabe will be shelved for his sixth straight game due to his lingering undisclosed injury. At this point, the 31-year-old blueliner should be considered questionable not only for Thursday's regular-season finale against Detroit but also for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. With Oliver Ekman-Larsson (undisclosed) also out, Toronto will have to give Simon Benoit and Dakota Mermis plenty of minutes down the stretch.

McCabe (undisclosed) is expected to be sidelined for the Leafs' next two outings, David Alter of The Hockey News reports Friday.
EDGE Analysis
McCabe is still expected to return during the regular season, but will have just two games to do so after missing the upcoming two outings. Prior to his absence, the 31-year-old blueliner was contributing offensively with six assists in his last seven outings. Due to Oliver Ekman-Larsson (undisclosed) also being unavailable, the Leafs are expected to roll with five blueliners versus the Habs on Saturday.

McCabe sat out Saturday's 5-0 win over Columbus but participated in Monday's practice. He has accounted for two goals, 23 points, 74 shots on net, 135 blocked shots and 118 hits in 66 appearances this season.

EDGE Analysis
Head coach Craig Berube had no update on McCabe's status in his postgame comments. The 31-year-old McCabe logged one assist and three hits prior to his exit, which occurred late in the third period. He'll be considered day-to-day heading into Saturday's game versus the Blue Jackets.

He has exceeded the 20-point mark in four straight seasons while adding ample physicality.
