Evander Kane undergoes successful operation
Evander Kane recently posted on his instagram story, posing with a "thumbs up" indicating to the Oilers fanbase he's completed a successful operation.
"Successful surgery, long road ahead but very grateful for my amazing surgeons and nurses."
Evander Kane has been dealing torn abductors, two hernias and two abdominal tears. These injuries have been accumulative during the 2023-24 season, and his pain was so bad, he wasn't even able to sit on the bench.
As per sportsnet, Edmonton's general manager Stan Bowman on Wednesday confirmed that Kane would not start the season on LTIR despite the forward likely missing all of training camp and the start of the regular season as he recovers from surgery to repair both abductors, two hernias and two abdominal tears.
Kane is optimistic that his multiple procedures will not cost him the entire 2024-25 season, but Bowman went on to say that the 15-year vet would "be out a while."
The Oilers open the regular season on Oct. 9 against the Winnipeg Jets. Oilers Insider would like to wish Evander Kane a speedy recovery.
