McCabe will be out for 10-12 weeks after having cervical spine surgery, the team announced Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Based on the club's timeline, McCabe should be expected to be unavailable until at least late November, though it could certainly be longer. The blueliner is coming off a career year in which he set new personal bests in assists (18) and points (22). Without McCabe in the lineup, Jack Johnson and Riley Stillman should both see an uptick in both games and minutes.

McCabe notched an assist, two hits and two PIM in Monday's 3-1 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe helped out on an Alex DeBrincat goal in the third period. In his last six games, McCabe's picked up a goal, three helpers, 15 hits and nine blocked shots.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe opened the scoring just 42 seconds into the game, jumping on a loose puck to score his fourth goal of the season.

McCabe logged an assist, six blocked shots and two hits in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe has picked up eight helpers in his last 10 outings, a strong run for a player more regarded for his physicality. The 28-year-old blueliner is up to 18 points, 58 shots on net, 135 hits, 136 blocked shots and a minus-21 rating through 60 contests overall. He needs just two more points to match his career high from the 2016-17 campaign.

McCabe logged an assist, three hits and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe has been a steady contributor lately with six assists in his last seven outings, though he's gone just plus-1 in that span. The 28-year-old had the secondary helper on Alex DeBrincat's empty-net tally Wednesday. For the season, McCabe is up to 16 points, 57 shots on net, 131 hits, 125 blocked shots and a minus-21 rating through 57 appearances.

McCabe found a slice of offense on a limited offensive day for Chicago, part of a solid few days for the defenseman. The 28-year-old has five assists now across his last four contests, upping his season total to 12 assists in 54 games.

McCabe notched a pair of assists, five hits, four blocked shots, two shots on net, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

The helper was McCabe's first point in five games since he returned from a one-game absence due to a back injury. The 28-year-old continues to be a physical presence on the blue line, though his offense isn't a big factor in most contests. He has 11 points, 116 hits, 114 blocks, 51 shots on net, 19 PIM and a minus-20 rating through 51 appearances.

McCabe (back) will return to action Sunday versus St. Louis, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe is expected to return to a top-pairing role following his one-game absence. He's picked up 10 points through 46 contests this campaign.

McCabe (back) won't be available for Friday's game versus the Devils, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe has missed a few practices due to his back issue, and he'll now miss at least one game with the same problem. Erik Gustafsson will likely hold onto a spot in the lineup until McCabe is ready to return.

McCabe recorded an assist and two blocked shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

McCabe helped out on a Patrick Kane tally in the second period. This was McCabe's second assist in the last three games, though he also went minus-4 in an ugly outing against the Blues on Saturday. The defenseman typically hasn't added much to the offense with just nine points in 43 outings. He's also posted 104 blocked shots, 89 hits, 43 shots on net and a minus-23 rating, so he's unlikely to help in all but the deepest of fantasy formats.
