It has been a crazy day for Evander Kane news and this is the latest development. His IR move is retroactive to January 2nd, which means he will miss at least the next two games with whatever it is that is bothering him. Monitor his status leading up to next Tuesday’s game vs. the Wild.
It was originally believed that Kane was scratched from the game, but he decided to skip the game. Kane wore a track suit when the Jets players gathered that morning — a violation of team policy. Following a brief workout and stretch, Byfuglien is said to have thrown those clothes into the shower to send a message to his teammate, according to sources.That was the last the Winnipeg players saw of Kane until the team’s charter flight home. This is getting juicy, stay tuned.
Kane has reportedly been dealing with an injury all season long, so he was visiting doctors today and will be re-evaluated on Friday ahead of the Jets meeting with the Blackhawks.
The Jets do not have an extra forward, so Dustin Byfuglien will move back to forward with Kane out. It is being called a “coach’s decision” so it could be discipline related. Trade speculation will run ramped, but for now, all we know is “coach’s decision”.
Kane has missed the last five games with a lower-body injury, but will be back in tonight vs. the Kings. His return comes much earlier than originally anticipated, which is great news for the Jets. He will play with Adam Lowry and Matt Halischuk.
Kane, who returned to practice this afternoon, is hopeful that he will return to the lineup during this week’s three game road trip.

Kane, who was placed on IR on Monday, took part in practice on Wednesday for the first time since being injured on December 27th. Kane is expected to be out until early February, but returning just one week into January is a positive sign that he could be back earlier. He will likely skate in a no-contact sweater for several days.
The Jets injury woes continue. Kane joins four key blue liners on IR; all of which will have missed at least one month by the time they return. With Kane out, the Jets are without 31.3% of their salary.
Kane’s lower-body injury is believed to be related to his foot after he blocked a shot on Saturday in Minnesota. T.J Galiardi is expected to replace Kane in the lineup. Consider him day-t0-day.

Kane was suspended for two games for his hit on the Ducks’ defenseman Clayton Stoner. He will return tomorrow vs. the Ducks, where Stoner could be waiting for retribution. Kane has 10 points (4G / 6A) in 20 games this season.
Kane hit Clayton Stoner from behind on Sunday and was given a game misconduct. On Monday the league decided to suspend Kane for two games for the illegal hit from behind. He will miss Tuesday and Thursday’s games but is eligible to return on Saturday vs. the Ducks.

Kane has been out since the season opener when he suffered a leg injury after playing just 1:24. The Jets announced Thursday that Kane is progressing well and are expecting him to start skating this weekend. The original timetable was "at least two week" and today marks the two-week point. The Jets could definitely use him back in the lineup but he is still at least one week away.
The Jets originally announced that he will miss at least two games, but now they will reevaluate him in two weeks and see where he is at. Head coach Paul Maurice felt like this was good news considering how serious they thought the injury originally was. Expect Dustin Byfuglien to continue to play a bigger role in Kane's absence.
Kane was injured in his third shift on Thursday night after a collision with linemate Mark Scheifele. Kane underwent an MRI today, but there is no report as to exactly how long he will be out.
