The Toronto Maple Leafs appear to have dodged a bullet with Jake McCabe's going injury.
Head coach Sheldon Keefe told reporters after the team's morning skate in Nashville that McCabe's injury is not as severe as initially feared and he should be back “before too long.”
McCabe exited Thursday's game against the Dallas Stars with a lower-body injury. The 30-year-old took just one shift before heading to the team's locker room early in the first period.
Defenceman William Lagesson was recalled from the AHL's Toronto Marlies and is expected to make his season debut with McCabe out of the lineup.
