McCabe put up three assists Thursday in a 4-3 win over the Rangers. He also registered three hits and two blocks.

EDGE Analysis

This was McCabe's first three-point game in blue and white. He's not known for his offense -- these points were his first in nine games, and he has just 20 points (two goals, 18 assists) in 60 games this season. But McCabe has arguably been the Leafs best defender on the ice, especially in reducing chances and snuffing out the opposition's best players. His fantasy value comes from his hits (109) and blocks (123).

McCabe recorded two shots on goal, two blocks and one hit in 21:34 of ice time during Monday's 6-3 win against the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe led all Maple Leafs skaters in ice time Monday (21:34), but that was mostly due to the amount of time Toronto spent shorthanded. The Leafs allowed four power plays and Calgary didn't score on any of them in part because of the work the 31-year-old did shorthanded, out there for over four of the eight minutes on the kill. Unfortunately, shorthanded prowess doesn't necessarily translate to fantasy relevance and with no points in seven games, McCabe doesn't really warrant much fantasy consideration.

McCabe scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, blocked five shots and went plus-3 in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe spent parts of two years with the Blackhawks, but he came back to haunt his former team in this contest. His second-period tally gave the Maple Leafs their first lead of the game, and he also set up Chris Tanev's insurance goal in the third. McCabe has three points and a plus-8 rating over six outings in February. He's up to two goals, 16 points, 57 shots on net, 99 blocked shots, 94 hits and a plus-20 rating through 48 contests overall, adding some fantasy value in formats that reward non-scoring production.

McCabe notched an assist and three hits in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe set up Matthew Knies on an insurance tally in the second period. The helper was McCabe's first point since Jan. 16, when he had two assists against the Devils. The 31-year-old blueliner plays a physical role in the Maple Leafs' top four, so producing offense is secondary. He's at 14 points, 52 shots on net, 91 hits, 91 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a plus-14 rating through 45 contests.

McCabe (upper body) returned to action Thursday in a 4-3 overtime win over the Devils. He played a game-high 24:16 and had two assists, two hits, five shots, five blocked shots and a plus-3 rating.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe spent four games on injured reserve after an upper-body injury that occurred in a fight. He made a big impact on the blue line and in fantasy box scores. McCabe has just 13 points, including 12 assists, in 37 games this season. Points aren't really a guarantee with the defender, but those secondary stats of hits and blocks are a valuable fantasy commodity.

McCabe (upper body) will be in the lineup versus New Jersey on Thursday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe will return following a four-game stint on injured reserve due to his upper-body issue. Prior to his absence, the 31-year-old blueliner was offering decent offensive production with six points in his prior 13 outings -- far better than his 11-game pointless streak in November. With McCabe back in the lineup, Simon Benoit figures to be relegated to a spot in the press box.

McCabe (upper body) said Wednesday that his status for Thursday's home game against New Jersey will be a coach's decision, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe has been sidelined for the past week and a half due to his upper-body injury, but he appears to be trending toward a return. While it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Thursday's matchup against the Devils, the Maple Leafs also have games against the Canadiens on Saturday and against Tampa Bay on Monday, and he'll likely be in the mix to return in those games if he isn't given the green light against New Jersey.

McCabe (upper body) doesn't have a timetable for his return to the lineup, Evan Doerfler of The Hockey New reports Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe moved to injured reserve Monday after being hurt in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over Philadelphia. The Maple Leafs expect to know more about the 31-year-old defender's status once he resumes skating. He has produced 10 assists, 11 points, 37 shots on goal, 68 blocked shots and 72 hits through 36 appearances this season. Conor Timmins will replace McCabe in Tuesday's rematch with the Flyers.

McCabe (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Toronto recalled Marshall Rifai from the minors in a corresponding move. McCabe will miss at least the next three games, starting with Tuesday's matchup against Philadelphia. He sustained the injury late in the first period of Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flyers. Due to McCabe's absence, Conor Timmins or Rifai will enter Tuesday's lineup. The 31-year-old McCabe has 10 assists, 11 points, 37 shots on goal, 68 blocked shots and 72 hits through 36 appearances this season.

McCabe (upper body) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game versus the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe logged seven PIM and one hit in 7:12 of ice time before exiting Sunday's contest. The left-shot blueliner appeared to have suffered an injury after fighting Philadelphia's Garnet Hathaway late in the first period. McCabe should be considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's rematch against the Flyers.
