Jake McCabe News

McCabe missed three games while in COVID-19 protocol but is expected to play Monday in Seattle. McCabe has scored three goals with three assists while posting a minus-14 rating in 32 games this season.

McCabe is a big minute eater on the Blackhawks blueline, so this void will be tough to fill for the next two or three games. Calvin de Haan is the most likely candidate to move up and play with Seth Jones while McCabe is out.

McCabe has missed the last three games due to personal reasons but will be back in the lineup in Montreal. McCabe should be back on the second pair with Connor Murphy, who also returns to the lineup.

McCabe missed Thursday's game in St. Louis but will replace Colin Miller on Saturday afternoon vs. the Canucks. McCabe has just two goals and five assists (seven points) in 41 games this season.

McCabe will miss Tuesday's practice and will miss at least one game with an upper-body injury. With McCabe out, Lawrence Pilut was called up from Rochester (AHL) and will likely make his season debut against the Blues.

McCabe appeared in less than 60 games for the second straight season, posting 14 points (4G / 10A) in 59 games in his fourth full year in Buffalo. On the defensive-side of the puck, McCabe averaged 1.7 hits and 1.7 blocked shots per game while ranking third among Sabres’ defensemen in SH TOI/gm (2:09) and fifth in total ice-time (18:57).

McCabe’s season is likely over as the Sabres announced the defenseman will miss 5-6 weeks with an upper-body injury that he suffered in Toronto on Saturday. Matt Hunwick will be in the Sabres lineup on Monday with McCabe out. He finishes the year with 14 points (4G / 10A), a minus-7 rating, 59 shots and 35 PIMS in 55 games.

McCabe will draw back into the Sabres lineup for the first time since November 29th. McCabe was solid before getting hurt, picking up 10 points (2G / 8A) in 25 games.

McCabe will come out of the lineup in the tail-end of a back-to-back because of an upper-body injury that he suffered in Tampa Bay last night. Lawrence Pilut will make his NHL debut in McCabe’s place.

McCabe suffered an upper-body injury on Saturday and is questionable for Tuesday’s game vs. the Flames. McCabe has had a solid start to the season, picking up seven points (1G / 6A) in 11 games.
