• Oilers' Evander Kane: Surgery confirmed

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Kane (hip), as expected, is set to have surgery as confirmed by general manager Stan Bowman, per Bob Stauffer of the Oilers Radio Network on Wednesday. Kane was previously reported to be heading under the knife before the end of September, and it seems that timeline remains intact. Until the procedure happens, it's hard to know how long Kane will be on the shelf, but fantasy managers can almost certainly anticipate he'll be out of action until at least November at a minimum. As a result, Kane should land on LTIR once the season kicks off.

  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.
