McCabe (undisclosed) will not play Saturday versus Columbus, Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCabe was injured Wednesday against Florida late in the final period and did not return. The blueliner has two goals, 21 assists, 118 hits and 135 blocked shots over 66 games this season. Philippe Myers, who has been a healthy scratch in his last 11 games, is expected to replace McCabe in the lineup, partnering with Simon Benoit on the third pairing.

McCabe sustained an undisclosed injury in Wednesday's game versus the Panthers, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
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.

McCabe logged a shorthanded assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
McCabe set up Auston Matthews' game-tying tally 55 seconds into the third period. With five assists over his last five games, McCabe has chipped in more than his usual share of offense. The 31-year-old defenseman is enjoying a solid campaign with 22 points, 112 hits, 131 blocked shots, 73 shots on net, 40 PIM and a plus-23 rating over 64 appearances. He has exceeded the 20-point mark in four straight seasons while adding ample physicality.

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.
