Head coach Ralph Krueger said that he's "very concerned" about the leg injury McCabe suffered during Saturday's win over the Devils, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Krueger is typically reluctant to expand on injuries, but he was candid about the seriousness of McCabe's injury after the blueliner collided with Devils forward Nico Hischier in the third period and left the ice in pain. The early prognosis is that McCabe will miss time. The 27-year-old will undergo further testing, and the Sabres should provide an update before Monday's road game versus the Islanders.

McCabe has been removed from the NHL's COVID-19 protocols list and could play Tuesday against the Islanders, John Vogl of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCabe's availability for Tuesday night's contest will likely boil down to a game-time decision. The 27-year-old blueliner picked up three points through the first 10 games of the campaign before being sidelined for two weeks due to the NHL's COVID-19 protocols.

McCabe dished out an assist and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
McCabe doesn't stack up points -- he's never posted more than 20 points in a season -- but he's a notable defensive contributor. The 26-year-old starts 44.1 percent of his shifts in the offensive zone and manages a 49.2 Corsi For percentage. He can be safely left untouched for fantasy purposes.

McCabe notched an assist in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
McCabe went 17 appearances without a point entering Saturday's game. The defenseman has had a tough season offensively, with just eight points and 49 shots on goal through 46 contests. He's added 65 hits, 62 blocked shots and 33 PIM, but without much offense, fantasy owners won't need to take notice.
