The Detroit Red Wings find themselves without one of their most trusted veterans as their West Coast road trip continues. According to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press, Patrick Kane will miss both upcoming games in Los Angeles and Anaheim due to an upper-body injury. The update, shared Tuesday evening, confirmed the forward has yet to be cleared for return.

Kane hasn’t played since October 17, when he exited a matchup against the Tampa Bay Lightning due to discomfort. What first seemed like a minor issue has now kept him out longer than expected. Before the setback, the 36-year-old winger had five points (two goals, three assists) in five games, offering steady production on Detroit’s top lines.
