McCabe (COVID-19 protocol) is a game-time decision for Monday's game versus the Islanders, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Sabres are set to play a game for the first time since Jan. 31. McCabe cleared the league's virus protocol, but it's uncertain if he'll be ready to return yet. Brandon Montour is a game-time decision on the blue line as well.

McCabe has been added to the NHL's COVID-19 protocols list, Sportsnet's Chris Johnston reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe is now the fifth Sabre on the NHL's COVID-19 protocols list. Buffalo's games have been postponed until next Thursday against the Capitals, but if things keep getting worse, that game could be in danger of getting delayed as well.

McCabe picked up an assist in Sunday's loss to the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

After he scored a goal and a helper in his season debut, McCabe went scoreless the next eight contests. The assist brings his total up to three points in 10 games, accompanied by 15 hits and 13 blocks.

McCabe posted an assist, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe had the secondary helper on Jeff Skinner's goal late in the third period. The blueliner now has 11 points in 61 games this season. McCabe has added 84 blocked shots, 82 hits and 68 shots on net in 2019-20 -- his usage is mostly as a defensive presence.

McCabe picked up an assist in Wednesday's loss to Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe got his first helper in 10 games. It's just his third point in his past 32 contests. He now has two goals and eight assists through 60 appearances. McCabe has 82 hits and 82 blocks on the year, those being his biggest assets fantasy-wise.

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.

McCabe (upper body) is slated to play in Saturday's game against the Canucks, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe sat out Thursday's contest versus the Blues due to an upper-body issue but will make a quick turnaround to be ready for the team's two games this weekend. The blueliner is in the midst of a slump, failing to tally a point in his last 13 games played and is likely unusable in most season-long and daily lineups at this point.

McCabe will miss Thursday's clash with St. Louis due to an upper-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe won't make the trip to St. Louis but is still considered day-to-day and is not expected to be out long term. The blueliner is bogged down in a 13-game pointless streak dating back to Dec. 5 versus Calgary. Henri Jokiharju should see an uptick in ice time with McCabe sidelined, while Lawrence Pilut was called up from the minors.

McCabe is in the midst of a 13-game point drought.

EDGE Analysis

Despite playing on the top defense pairing for much of the year, McCabe's offense hasn't increased. He has just seven points in 41 contests. He isn't seeing time on the power play, as he's being used in a shut down role. He does have 60 hits and 61 blocks, but McCabe is likely best left on the waiver wire until he finds some offense.
