Edmonton Oilers winger Evander Kane is expected to return to the lineup Tuesday against the Seattle Kraken, reports Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravalli.
Kane has missed 31 games since his wrist was cut by a skate on Nov. 8 against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The 31-year-old power forward tallied 13 points in 14 games before the injury. He recorded 35 goals and 21 assists in 58 contests in 2021-22 (regular season and playoffs) after signing with Edmonton as a free agent midseason.
The Oilers are reportedly expected to move Kailer Yamamoto to long-term injured reserve retroactive to Jan. 11 to become salary-cap compliant.
