Jake McCabe will be out of the Toronto Maple Leafs lineup for a second straight game when the team takes on the Nashville Predators on Wednesday. The defenseman took a puck to the head in the second period against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday, which forced him to leave the game and miss Monday's matchup against the Chicago Blackhawks.

The Toronto Maple Leafs won't have defenceman Jake McCabe in the lineup against the Nashville Predators. McCabe participated in practice Tuesday and said he was fine after speaking with reporters. Head coach Craig Berube said the defenceman was not feeling good enough to play, which led to the team deciding to hold him out for another game.

The incident occurred in the second period when McCabe, playing in his 600th career regular-season game, blocked a point shot from Lightning defenseman Nick Perbix. The puck struck McCabe on the side of the head as he was boxing out forward Jake Guentzel in front of the Maple Leafs' net.
