Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Jake McCabe (undisclosed) will withdraw from the lineup for Saturday's game against the Columbus Blue Jackets. He was injured Wednesday night against the Florida Panthers and will be unavailable for at least one game due to an unspecified ailment. Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube considers McCabe day-to-day. The 31-year-old is second on the team with 135 blocks and fourth with 118 hits. He also sometimes chips in offensively, boasting 23 points (two goals, 21 assists) through 66 appearances. Philippe Myers, who has registered four points (one goal, three assists), 34 blocks, and 66 hits in 29 appearances, is set to fill in for McCabe on the third defensive pairing.

According to the team, Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Jake McCabe (upper body) exited early during Sunday's overtime victory against the Philadelphia Flyers. McCabe appeared to have sustained the injury late in the opening frame. Before exiting, the 31-year-old tallied one hit with seven penalty minutes. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the time being. McCabe has been typically deployed on the second pairing alongside Chris Tanev. While he has only tallied 11 points through 36 games, he has provided strong value in deeper category formats as he has tallied 32 penalty minutes, 72 hits and 68 blocks. If McCabe were unable to play Tuesday evening, Connor Timmins will likely draw into the starting lineup.
