The Buffalo Sabres are shutting down Evander Kane.

The 24-year-old forward won't play again this season due to what the team is calling an upper-body injury, which is expected to require another three-to-four weeks to heal.

Kane missed Tuesday's loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins, and he'll finish the 2015-16 campaign with 20 goals in 65 games.

The struggling Sabres, who have five contests remaining, shut down goaltender Robin Lehner on Wednesday due to a nagging ankle injury.
