Jake McCabe - Page 3 - NHL News & Rumors

Surprising output in December McCabe has eight points, including seven assists, in his last 10 games.

Impact He also has 19 hits and 11 shots in that span. McCabe's scoring outburst has been unusual -- he had just two assists in 16 games prior, and his best output ever (25 points) came last season, split between Chicago and Toronto. McCabe is at his best when he provides stability for a more roving, offensive partner, so count on hits and blocks going forward as the Leafs blue line starts to stabilize. Mark Giordano has been activated off LTIR, which will lead to pair changes.

Three assists in last three games McCabe put up two assists in a 4-3 win over Ottawa on Thursday.

Impact McCabe has only four assists in 17 games this season, but three of those have come in his last three games. We're not convinced this will last -- his best offensive season came last year when he put up a combined 25 points (three goals, 22 assists) between Chicago and Toronto. McCabe was brought into Toronto for his edge and grit, not his offense. There's no need to roster him at this time.

Returns to action Friday McCabe (groin) will be back in the lineup versus Calgary on Friday, according to NHL.com's Dave McCarthy.

Impact McCabe missed the last six games and will replace John Klingberg (undisclosed) on the blue line. McCabe has nary a point in seven games this season.

Game-time call against Flames McCabe (groin) will be a game-time decision versus Calgary on Friday, David Alter of Sports Illustrated reports.

Impact McCabe took part in Thursday's practice session but hasn't been given the all-clear to suit up against the Flames. Additionally, it looks like McCabe's potential return could see John Klingberg serving as a healthy scratch. In his seven games this season, McCabe has failed to get onto the scoresheet and has managed just six shots on net.

Not ready Wednesday McCabe (groin) isn't expected to return Wednesday versus Ottawa, according to Mike Stephens of SI Now.

Impact McCabe skated with the Maple Leafs on Wednesday but wasn't part of the top-three pairings during line rushes. The fact that joined the practice at all does suggest he's getting close, so perhaps he'll be an option against Calgary on Friday. McCabe's been held off the scoresheet this season while recording a minus-4 rating, 12 hits and nine blocks in seven contests. The 30-year-old has missed Toronto's last five contests.

Won't play against Lightning McCabe (groin) won't play Monday against Tampa Bay, David Alter of Sports Illustrated reports.

Impact McCabe, who took part in Toronto's optional morning skate Monday, hasn't played since Oct. 26 against Dallas because of a groin injury. He hasn't hit the scoresheet yet this campaign while chipping in six shots on goal, nine blocked shots and 12 hits. Simon Benoit is expected to fill in on the back end in Monday's contest, according to Mark Masters of TSN.

Expected to miss next two games McCabe (groin) definitely won't play against Boston on Thursday and is "unlikely" for Saturday's matchup with Buffalo as well, David Alter of Sports Illustrated reports.

Impact McCabe is at least expected to start skating Thursday while the team is in Boston, so that's certainly a step in the right direction. Assuming he misses both contests, McCabe's groin problem will have cost him at least four games. While the blueliner's physicality might be missed -- he's dished out 12 hits in seven games -- his offensive contributions have been lacking with zero points to open the season.

Won't play Tuesday McCabe (groin) won't play Tuesday against the Kings, according to David Alter of Sports Illustrated.

Impact McCabe may be able to ramp it up at practice prior to Thursday's contest against Boston, but it's unclear if he will be ready to play by then. He hasn't been in the lineup since Oct. 26 versus the Stars because of a groin injury. McCabe has six shots on goal, nine blocked shots, 12 hits and a minus-4 rating in seven games this season.

MRI results encouraging McCabe (groin) won't play Saturday against Nashville, though his MRI results were the "best-case scenario" according to coach Sheldon Keefe, David Alter of Sports Illustrated repor...

Impact While McCabe will miss Saturday's contest, it appears that he won't be out as long as the Leafs originally feared. The 30-year-old blueliner has yet to record a point this season, tallying 12 hits and nine blocked shots through his first seven games. William Lagesson was recalled Friday and will likely fill a bottom-pairing role in McCabe's absence.

OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Timetable more than day-to-day 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.

Impact 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.

May miss Saturday's game 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.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles to start season 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.

Impact 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.
