McCabe underwent surgery on September 13th, so he's expected to be out until late-November/early-December. With McCabe sidelined, look for Riley Stillman and Alex Vlasic to get more work early in the season.
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.
