The Buffalo Sabres have announced that Evander Kane will miss the remainder of the season. The winger incurred an 'upper-body injury' during the game against the Detroit Red Wings on Monday and left after the first period. Coach Dan Bylsma announced today that his timetable for return was approximately three-four weeks but with the Sabres' season ending on 9th April, it would be pointless to rush the player back.
Kane played in 65 games this season for the Sabres, scoring twenty goals with fifteen assists. He has had a tumultuous year in Buffalo, with allegations of sexual abuse and a suspension for partying too much affecting perceptions of the player.
