Maple Leafs D McCabe, F Kampf out vs. Blue Jackets
Published
Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Jake McCabe and forward David Kampf will both miss Saturday's game against the visiting Columbus Blue Jackets with injuries.
"Right now I’d say day-to-day," head coach Craig Berube said of the status of the two players. "I can’t really comment on that too much about how long it’s going to be."
The 31-year-old McCabe sustained an undisclosed injury against the Florida Panthers on Wednesday while the 30-year-old Kampf suffered an upper-body injury in the same game.
McCabe has two goals and 21 assists over 66 games in 2024-25, his second full season with the club.
Kampf has five goals and eight assists over 59 games this season.
Pontus Holmberg centred the team's fourth line during Friday's practice working between wingers Steven Lorentz and Nick Robertson. Robertson has severed as a healthy scratch of late, but held a role on the team's second power play unit Friday as he appears set to draw back in.
The Leafs lead the Atlantic Division by three points over the Tampa Bay Lightning with a 46-25-4 record.
