Oilers camp: Evander Kane to have surgery [Video]

Edmonton Oilers forward Evander Kane will undergo surgery and will be sidelined into the start of the regular season, general manager Stan Bowman announced Wednesday.

“He’s going to be out for a while,” Bowman said without revealing the specific nature of the surgery. “I don’t want to speculate on that. I think our doctors will be able to give you a better handle on that, but he’s not going to be here for a while.

“It’s going to be soon. He is not going to be available for training camp and the beginning of the season. I don’t want to speak on the medical part. We’ll get our doctors to comment on that, but he is going to be having surgery.”
