According to head coach Jay Woodcroft, Kane remains week to week however this is an encouraging sign of his return later this season for their continued playoff push.

The Oilers will be active on the trade front as the March third trade deadline approaches. And if Kane can return that would be like adding a new player without having to move any assets. We wish Evander Kane all the best and a continued speedy recovery
