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.

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) 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.

He could return as early as Saturday in Pittsburgh.
