Maple Leafs' McCabe (upper-body) back on ice
Published
Defenceman Jake McCabe was on the ice ahead of the Toronto Maple Leafs skate Monday morning, according to TSN's Mark Masters.
McCabe missed Saturday's preseason finale against the Detroit Red Wings due to an upper-body issue. He skated on the second defensive pairing alongside Oliver Ekman-Larsson Monday.
McCabe was a minus-3 and had zero points in two preseason games. The 30-year-old defenceman had eight goals and 20 assists for 28 points in 73 games last season, his second with Toronto after coming over in a deal with the Chicago Blackhawks.
Meanwhile, forward Calle Jarnkrok was absent from Monday's session. Masters notes he has been dealing with a nagging lower-body injury during training camp. Head coach Craig Berube labelled him as day-to-day after the skate.
The 33-year-old had zero points in two preseason games played.
The Leafs open the season Wednesday in Montreal against the Canadiens.
