Toronto Maple Leafs Receive Horrible News Involving Jake McCabe

Jake McCabe and David Kampf are two players on opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of the Toronto Maple Leafs pecking order.

For instance, McCabe is considered to be one of the best defenseman on the team and is a guy who is very much needed in order for this team to be a success.

However, Kampf has struggled for much of this season and has only been able to manage five goals and 13 assists with plenty of healthy scratches.

Both got injured against the Florida Panthers a few games ago and Leafs fans are very worried about their status going into the postseason.

Today, the Maple Leafs were back at practice as they look to prepare for the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday in a game that will be pivotal for the Atlantic Division title fight.

Unfortunately, both Jake McCabe and David Kampf were not at practice, which suggests that they are not going to be in the lineup against the Blue Jackets come Saturday evening.

The Leafs will need to hope that these are not serious injuries, especially in the case of McCabe who remains one of the best players on the team.

When he isn't in the lineup, the Leafs struggle and it remains to be seen whether or not this is an injury that will last a long time.

Regardless, this is something that the Maple Leafs are going to need to worry about going forward, and one has to wonder if call-ups are coming.

Hopefully, this is all a precaution and McCabe and Kampf get back on the ice sooner rather than later.
