Playoff ready? Edmonton Oilers give injury update on Evander Kane
If Evander Kane suits up for the Edmonton Oilers this season, it’ll have to be in the playoffs.
Kane will miss the entirety of the 2024-25 regular season, the Oilers confirmed today.
“After further consultation with team medical staff, it has been determined that forward Evander Kane will not be ready to return to action for the remainder of the 2024-25 regular season. As a result, he will remain on LTIR (long-term injured reserve),” the Oilers said in a media release.
“Kane underwent successful abdominal surgery last September. His rehabilitation continues to take place in Edmonton under the supervision of the club’s medical staff.”
It was a quiet deadline day in Edmonton following yesterday’s surprise trade with the San Jose Sharks for defenceman Jake Walman. The Oilers also added Trent Frederic in a trade with the Boston Bruins on Tuesday.
Will those moves be enough to get the Oilers over the hump? We’ll begin to find out next month when the Stanley Cup Playoffs begin.
