The Sabres signed Jake McCabe to a two-year contract extension worth $5.7 million ($2.85M AAV).

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 will miss 5-to-6 weeks with an upper-body injury.

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 underwent surgery on his thumb and will miss 3-4 weeks.

McCabe was hurt against Anaheim and did not return on Tuesday and will miss at least three games after undergoing thumb surgery this week. There’s no word how McCabe suffered the injury, but he recorded three blocked shots on Tuesday, so you have to think one of those shots did the damage.

McCabe is week-to-week with a shoulder injury.

McCabe is dealing with a sore shoulder and his status for the season opener is in doubt. The 23-year-old will likely be replaced by Matt Tennyson to start the season but will take his spot back as soon as he’s healthy. McCabe had 20 points (3G / 17A) in 76 games last season.

McCabe (shoulder) is doubtful for Saturday’s game.

McCabe left Friday’s game after playing just 56 seconds and did not return. McCabe left with a shoulder injury after falling to the ice in a collision and likely won’t be in the lineup on Saturday. The Sabres recalled Casey Nelson on Saturday morning, which suggests McCabe is out.
