The Detroit Red Wings will be without star forward Patrick Kane for Sunday’s showdown against Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers due to an upper-body injury, according to Ansar Khan of MLive.com.
Head coach Todd McLellan confirmed that Kane sustained the injury late in Friday’s 2–1 overtime victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning, though the team has not provided a timeline for his return.
