McCabe scored a goal and added an assist Saturday in a 6-4 win over Boston.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe shot over Jeremy Swayman's blocker from the left hashmarks early in the first period. It was his first goal of the season (11 points; 35 games), and the first goal from a Leafs defenseman since Chris Tanev lit the lamp on Nov. 30. That's a 16-game drought. McCabe isn't an offensive defender, but he does have 71 hits and 68 blocked shots. Still, his hit total is well off his massive 219 last season, so don't expect a return to that level this year.

McCabe notched an assist, three hits and a minus-2 rating in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe has a helper in consecutive contests, and he's earned four assists over his last seven outings. The defenseman is known for his physicality, but he can chip in some supporting offense every now and then. For the season, he has nine assists, 30 shots on net, 23 PIM, 61 hits and 59 blocked shots through 30 appearances.

McCabe notched an assist, two hits and four blocked shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe has a helper in each of the last two games since he returned from missing five contests due to an upper-body injury. The 31-year-old blueliner was mired in an 11-game drought prior to the injury. He's now at seven helpers, 23 shots on net, 54 hits, 51 blocked shots, 21 PIM and a plus-10 rating over 25 appearances. McCabe is worth a look in formats that reward physical play -- he's locked in as a top-four option on the Maple Leafs' blue line.

McCabe (upper body) had an assist and two shots Thursday in a 3-2 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

It was his first game back after missing five contests with a head injury. McCabe played 20:07 in his return. He has six assists, 52 hits, 47 blocks and 22 shots in 24 games this season.

McCabe (upper body) will be in the lineup against Anaheim on Thursday, Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe will be back in the lineup after missing the previous five games due to his upper-body injury. Prior to his absence, the blueliner was stuck in an 11-game pointless streak dating back to Nov. 2 versus St. Louis. After scoring eight goals over 73 regular-season games last year, the Wisconsin native has yet to find the back of the net this year.

McCabe (upper body) was put on injured reserve Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Toronto activated Max Pacioretty (lower body) from long-term injured reserve in a corresponding move. McCabe will miss his fourth straight game against Pittsburgh on Saturday. He is eligible to come off the IR list for Tuesday's game against New Jersey, but it's unclear when he will be available to play. McCabe has five assists, 20 shots on goal, 46 blocked shots and 52 hits in 23 appearances this season. Philippe Myers has been filling in during McCabe's absence.

McCabe (upper body) will not be in the lineup Friday against Washington, according to Mark Masters of TSN.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Craig Berube said Thursday that McCabe is feeling better, but the defenseman will sit out a third consecutive game. McCabe has five assists, 52 hits and 46 blocked shots over 23 appearances this season. He was without a point in 11 straight games before his absence. He could return as early as Saturday in Pittsburgh.

McCabe (upper body) will miss Wednesday's tilt against Nashville, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe was also absent for Monday's 4-1 win over Chicago. He has five assists, 21 PIM, 52 hits and 46 blocks across 23 appearances in 2024-25. Philippe Myers drew into the lineup versus the Blackhawks, and he'll likely dress again due to McCabe still being on the shelf.

McCabe (upper body) won't play Monday against Chicago, per David Alter of The Hockey News.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe didn't participate in the morning skate and will sit out at least one game as a precaution. He left Saturday's 5-3 win over Tampa Bay in the second period after being struck by the puck in the side of his head. McCabe has generated five assists, 20 shots on goal, 46 blocked shots and 52 hits in 23 appearances this season. Philippe Myers will play against the Blackhawks due to McCabe's absence.

McCabe (upper body) is reportedly fine and shouldn't miss any time, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's a fortunate break for the Maple Leafs, who have dealt with injuries for most of November, although their defense has been mostly unscathed. If McCabe sits out a game, Jani Hakanpaa or Philippe Myers could enter Monday's lineup against Chicago.
