COOLING OFF: Left-winger Evander Kane has gone seven games without a goal and has only one tally in his last nine contests.
Kane still leads the Jets in goals with 15 and points with 26.
Evander Kane has 14 goals through the #WinnipegJets first 26 games. That puts him on pace for 44 this season #NHL
If Kane is available in your fantasy hockey league, add him. He is a goal scoring machine at this point.
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.
No Evander Kane for the Wpg Jets tonight. Blocked a shot in Phx and team is saying lower body, day to day #nhl
Tough luck for Kane, who was already snake-bitten over his first three games. Look for Brett MacLean to draw back into the lineup and play on a scoring role.

“I just wanted a little bit more out of him,” Noel said. “I don’t equate an A game with only shots and only hits. I equate it with performance, like with everybody. So I would’ve liked his performance to be better, but I could’ve missed shifts with a lot of guys.
Kane contributed at both ends of the ice on Sunday but failed to show up on the box score. Last season he scored 19 goals and 43 points through 73 games with the now-defunct Atlanta Thrashers. Expect him to improve on last season's totals.

Evander Kane was moved to the third line with Alex Burmistrov and Nik Antropov.
Kane should play much better on a scoring line after toiling on the 'second line' with rookie Mark Scheifele and Kyle Wellwood. Last season he scored 19 goals and 43 points through 73 games with the now-defunct Atlanta Thrashers. In his first game, he seemed somewhat out-of-place, getting held scoreless with a minus-1 rating.
