Hawks' McCabe out 10-12 weeks after cervical spine surgery
Jake McCabe's health issues have returned.
The Blackhawks defenseman will miss 10-12 weeks from Tuesday after undergoing cervical spine surgery, the team announced.
That timeline puts his return in approximately late November or early December, meaning he'll likely miss the first 15 to 25 games of the regular season.
He missed all but 13 games of the 2021 pandemic-shortened season with the Sabres while recovering from knee surgery, too. He began last season shaky as a result of that long time off, too, but he managed to play in 75 of 82 games, averaging 20:18 of ice time per game and recording four goals, 18 assists and 166 hits.
