NLNH: Defenseman Jake McCabe to miss 10 to 12 weeks

The Chicago Blackhawks have announced that defenseman Jake McCabe will miss 10 to 12 weeks following cervical spine surgery.

The 28-year-old McCabe had four goals and 22 points in 75 games last season, his first for the Blackhawks. He joined the team during the free agent period last summer, signing a four-year deal, earning him an average of $4 million per season.

Selected in the second round of the 2012 NHL Draft by the Buffalo Sabres, the American played 428 games in the Betman circuit. His next point will be his 100th.

 

Hickey gets a chance in New Jersey

The New Jersey Devils have offered defenseman Thomas Hickey a pro tryout.

Former Islanders, Hickey will try to break through the alignment of the Devils. Slowed down by injuries, the Calgary native has only been able to play 7 games in the NHL in the last two campaigns.

The fourth overall pick in 2007 by the Los Angeles Kings, Hickey has 22 goals and 95 assists in 456 career games so far.

At 33, he will try to find his place in a fairly experienced Devils defensive squad.
