McCabe's timetable is expected to be more than day-to-day, though the Maple Leafs are still waiting on the results of an MRI to learn more, Jonas Siegel of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe was injured early in Thursday's 4-1 win over Dallas. He has no points, a minus-4 rating, two PIM, 12 hits and nine blocks this season. With McCabe not expected to be an option for Saturday's contest versus Nashville, William Lagesson should draw into the lineup.

McCabe (lower body) pulled something on his first shift Thursday versus the Stars and may miss Saturday's game against the Predators, David Alter of Sports Illustrated reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe played just 10 seconds in Thursday's contest. If he's ultimately unable to play Saturday, the Maple Leafs will need to make some moves to get another defenseman on the NHL roster. Mark Giordano and John Klingberg would likely also see more minutes to cover any potential absence for McCabe.

McCabe (lower body) is questionable to return to Thursday's game versus the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe left after his first shift of the contest. The 30-year-old's status leaves the Maple Leafs with five blueliners available to finish off Thursday's game. If McCabe can't play Saturday in Nashville, Toronto would likely need to call up a defenseman from the AHL.

McCabe has struggled out of the gate and has been on the ice for a league-high 21 high-danger attempts at five-on-five.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe started with newcomer John Klingberg, but that pairing was split up after two-and-a-half games -- they were outscored 5-1 with that duo on the ice. McCabe couldn't stabilize Klingberg's defensive deficiencies. The Leafs need him to be better, and he'll get a chance to play with rising defender Timothy Liljegren to prove he can survive in top-four minutes.

McCabe delivered seven hits Tuesday in a 7-3 loss to Tampa Bay in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

One of those hits knocked Bolts' forward Michael Eyissimont out of the game. McCabe played 19:54 on Tuesday, his first playoff game. He has 124 points (25 goals, 99 assists) in 504 regular-season games.

McCabe will get Sunday night's matchup with the Red Wings off for rest, per Mark Masters of TSN.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe has been solid since joining Toronto at the trade deadline, posting a goal, two points and a plus-5 rating in 15 games. Overall, the 29-year-old defenseman has three goals and 23 points in 70 games between the Maple Leafs and the Blackhawks. Conor Timmins and Wayne Simmonds enter the lineup with McCabe and Mark Giordano scratched.

McCabe has one goal and one assist in 14 games with the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe has matched his career mark for points (22) this season (69 games). He's not a fantasy force, but McCabe has become one of the Leafs' best shutdown defenders alongside T.J. Brodie. He may not help you in fantasy, but he's sure helps managers who put Ilya Samsonov or Matt Murray into their net.

McCabe was traded to Toronto on Monday, along with Sam Lafferty and a pair of fifth-round picks, in a swap with Chicago for Joey Anderson, Pavel Gogolev, a 2025 first-round selection and a 2026 second-round pick.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe is poised to set a new personal best this season having tallied 20 points in 55 games with Chicago and needing just three more points to surpass his 2021-22 season total. The addition of McCabe will give the Leafs a very crowded blue line and could see Rasmus Sandin relegated to a spot on the bench.

McCabe produced an assist and added three hits in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe was initially questionable for this game due to an illness, but he was able to suit up after missing Friday's practice. The 29-year-old defenseman also snapped a three-game point drought with a helper on a Max Domi tally in the third period. McCabe has reached the 20-point mark for the second straight season -- he has two goals, 18 helpers, 67 shots on net, 122 hits, 115 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 55 outings.

McCabe (illness) is good to play Saturday versus San Jose, per Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe's availability for Saturday's game was put into question after he missed Friday's practice because of the illness. He has two goals, 19 points, 119 hits and 115 blocks in 54 contests while averaging 19:31 of ice time this season. He's projected to serve on the top pairing with Seth Jones versus the Sharks.
