The Toronto Maple Leafs are coming into the playoffs hot and healthy.

Shutdown defenceman Jake McCabe will suit up for the home team Sunday against the Ottawa Senators after 18 days of rest and recovery from an undisclosed upper-body injury suffered on April 2.

“Yeah, pumped. I’m ready to rock,” McCabe confirmed Saturday.

Less certain, but nevertheless encouraging, is the status of Oliver Ekman-Larsson, who participated in his first full team practice alongside partner Simon Benoit.

The Leafs want to see how Ekman-Larsson (upper body) responds from a hard skate before giving him the green light. source

Projected Lineup:

Knies - Matthews - Marner
Domi - Tavares - Nylander
McMann - Holmberg - Robertson
Lorentz - Laughton - Jarnkrok

McCabe - Tanev
Rielly - Carlo
Benoit - Ekman-Larsson

Stolarz
Woll

Update: Ekman-Larsson is in.
