Kane (hip/sports hernia) will undergo surgery within the next 10 days, Mark Spector of Sportsnet reports Friday
Kane's recovery timeline won't be known until after the surgery, but it's safe to assume the operation will cost him part of the regular season. If he is unavailable for the first month, the 33-year-old winger will be a candidate for long-term injured reserve. Vasily Podkolzin could get a chance at being a regular in the Oilers' lineup while Kane is out.
