There was a scary scene in tonight’s game in Tampa between the Lightning and the Edmonton Oilers when forward Evander Kane left the game after suffering a skate laceration to the wrist. The Oilers announced later during the game that Kane is stable after the concerning cut and has been transported to a local hospital.
Kane was off to yet another strong start in Edmonton, notching five goals and eight assists for a point-per-game pace through 13 contests. He was also averaging more than 20 minutes of ice time per game for the second time in the past five years.
He suffered the injury after Lightning winger Pat Maroon inadvertently cut Kane’s wrist with his skate.
While there’s no timeline for the injury at this point, skate lacerations to any part of the body are generally not a short-term absence. Then-Toronto Maple Leafs winger Ilya Mikheyev missed 31 games with a similar injury in the 2019-20 season.
Glad he’s ok
“Stable?” Ugh. It’s not like someone’s going to be in critical condition with an injury to the wrist. This does not sound good.
He was cut by a skate. Might want to read the article instead of skimming
Skate across the wrist, that will take awhile to heal.

Don’t know much about anatomy, do you?
Do you know why people committing suicide will cut their wrists? Because they can BLEED TO DEATH!
He didn’t tweak it. It was sliced open.
Yeah, no $hit, all you medical doctors. I did read the frigging article. Now how about you guys draw on your great medical school wisdom and tell me how a skate cut to the wrist isn’t a — wait for it — INJURY TO THE WRIST.
Geez, what a bunch of snowflakes.
Actually they were spot on. You were doing your uninformed, aimlessly rambling bit again.
Sounds like you’re the snowflake bud. I think we figured out the problem, though. If you’re not bright enough to understand the article, than you’re most likely too dumb to see why your comment is also just lacking any sense. Now go play by yourself.

That’s par for the course here. If you point something out, and someone disagrees, they call you a snowflake. If you defend yourself logically, you’re called a snowflake. Someone will make a histrionic rant, worthy of a toddler, but if you point it out, you’re the snowflake.
Classic projection
@Nha Trang:
In all seriousness, your hockey knowledge is pretty good. But I’ve seen you correct people when they make mistakes. You should be able to accept it, when you’re on the receiving end. You and at least one other person here apparently can dish it out, but can’t take it.
Wait…are that toolbag who compared himself being called a Simpsons character as being bullied comparable to Mitchell Miller being forced to eat urine soaked candy?
And being called a snowflake was so very very very upsetting to you that you changed your screen name about it and are still whining about it randomly days later???
Wow.
Just wow. Amazingly pathetic.
I was wrong. You are not a snowflake HOF’er.
You are the Snowflake GOAT.
Congrats.
Is this the “jab me harder daddy” guy above? Considering last news on science behind coof jabs you must be staying away from commenting
