Edmonton Oilers Confirm Injury of Key Forward

It has been confirmed by Jason Gregor that Oilers forward Evander Kane is currently injured. It seems he was dealing with a nagging injury and missed a practice this week and has been inconsistent with attending practices throughout the season.

Gregor said that Kane is not as explosive as he was earlier in the season but it's hard to say what exactly the injury is. We don't even know if it's upper or lower-body.

He added that Kane has still been able to lead the team physically, with 97 hits, good for 3.73 per game. He also has 46 penalty minutes. Kane might have to dial down his physicality a notch so as to not aggravate his injury further. But knowing him, he probably won't do that.

As the Oilers rebound back into the playoff picture, Kane has been a big part of that. He scored 12 goals this year and 22 points in 26 games and ranks sixth on the team in scoring. He's a key part to the team's secondary scoring and is locked up through the 2025-26 season at a 5.125 million cap hit.
