Evander Kane News

Winnipeg Jets coach Claude Noel had no information as to the extent of today’s practice injury to left-winger Evander Kane.

"He got a tweak in practice and he’ll get assessed sometime today providing we can get him looked at and we’ll go from there," Noel said. "He’s day-to-day right now. We just need further information and I don’t have it.

Evander Kane &Tim Stapleton are not w/ the Jets in Philly.

Kane remains out indefinitely with a concussion so not travelling with the team is no surprise. The power forward scored 18 goals and 31 points in 46 games before getting hurt. Don't expect the Jets to rush their prized forward back into the lineup.

Based on the skate here, looks like Evander Kane is back on the top unit with Blake Wheeler and Bryan Little

Kane moves back onto the Little line after briefly watching captain Andrew Ladd take his place. His 18 goals still rank first on the team but his 31 points are one behind the red-hot Blake Wheeler.

The 20-year-old Jets forward had three games he’d rather forget to kick off the season and suffered a lower-body injury blocking a shot in Phoenix on Saturday that kept him out of Monday’s 2-1 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Kane likely draws in for Brett MacLean. Through his first three games in a Jets uniform, the former fourth overall pick was snake-bitten with 12 SOG, no points and a minus-2 rating. Look for him to improve with some much needed rest.
