Kane (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision on Thursday.

Kane was hurt while scoring a goal in the Sabres’ win over the Sharks on Tuesday. Kane is listed as a game-time decision and the Sabres are hoping he will play because he’s been red-hot lately. The winger has scored four goals with five assists (nine points) while firing 43 shots in his last eight games.

Ferland (lower-body) will be a game-time decision on Tuesday.

Ferland has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury, but skated on the fourth line in the morning skate and called himself a game-time decision for tonight’s game. All signs are pointing towards him returning, so expect the rugged winger to play. He has 11 points (5G / 6A) in 44 games this season.

The Jets have activated Tyler Myers (lower-body) from IR; he will return to the lineup on Tuesday.

Myers has missed the last five games with a lower-body injury, but will return to the Jets’ line tonight vs. the Stars. Myers, who has two goals in eight games, will skate on the second pairing with Tobias Enstrom and should also see some power-play time on the second unit.

Kane will miss several weeks with three cracked ribs.

Kane was brought to hospital for precautionary reasons after crashing into the end boards last night. Further evaluation revealed that Kane cracked three ribs and he will be out for “weeks” according to head coach Dan Bylsma. This is a tough blow for the Sabres, who will already be without Jack Eichel for what appears to be 6-8 weeks.

Kane was taken to hospital for further evaluation after heavy collision with the boards.

Kane slid hard into the end-boards during the Sabres’ season opener on Thursday and was taken to hospital for further evaluation and precautionary measures. It has been a tough start to the year for Sabres, who are already without Jack Eichel for at least a few weeks and both Kyle Okposo and Dmitry Kulikov are day-to-day.

The Kings signed Derek Forbort to a two-year deal on July 11th.

Forbort, 24, was the 15th overall pick in 2010 and cracked the NHL roster in 2015-16. He spent the majority of the year with Ontario (AHL), collecting 10 points and 40 PIMS in 40 games, but he dressed in 14 contests with the Kings where he had one goal and one assist. Forbort will look to crack the Kings roster in training camp this Fall.
