The Edmonton Oilers received some positive news regarding forward Evander Kane, who is optimistic about a potential return to the ice before the end of the season. After undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery last Thursday, Kane is looking at a 4-8 week recovery time.
In a recent interview, Kane expressed his satisfaction with the surgery, stating, “I’m actually really happy we were able to fix that and get me to 100 percent, so when I do come back and play this year, I’m feeling 100 percent.” Despite the setback, Kane remains focused on his recovery and is eager to get back on the ice as soon as possible.
The 33-year-old forward had multiple procedures in September, including surgery to repair torn hip adductor muscles, hernias, and torn lower abdominal muscles. These injuries were a result of Kane playing through a sports hernia last season, where he put up impressive numbers for the Oilers.
Kane’s determination to overcome these injuries and return to form is evident in his approach to rehabilitation. He plans to take a week or two off from his current rehab process before resuming his training. According to Kane, the surgery will not significantly delay his recovery timeline and he is confident in his ability to get back to playing at a high level.
While the road to recovery may be challenging, Kane’s positive outlook and unwavering determination are sure to serve him well as he works towards making a successful comeback with the Edmonton Oilers. Fans can expect to see Kane back on the ice in the near future, ready to make an impact and help lead his team to victory.
