Kane will miss his seventh straight game but the Sharks are hopeful that he will be back on Saturday. Gustav Nyquist is expected to remain in the top-6 with Kane out.

DeBrusk will not play Saturday vs. the Senators and will likely miss Sunday’s game in Pittsburgh as well. Lee Stempniak was recalled from Providence (AHL) and is expected to play in DeBrusk’s usual spot with David Krejci.

Kane took part in Wednesday’s practice but will not be available for the third consecutive game due to an upper-body injury that he suffered in Boston. Kane remains day-to-day and seems like he will be available for Saturday’s game vs. St. Louis.

Kampf has missed the last 12 games with a right foot injury but will play tonight vs. the Sabres. Kampf, who has three goals and 13 assists (16 points) in 50 games this season, will centre the fourth line with Chris Kunitz and Marcus Kruger.

Kane has missed the last two games with an undisclosed injury and remains questionable to play Thursday despite skating on Wednesday. Kane did skate with Tomas Hertl and Gustav Nyqust in practice, which suggests there’s a chance that he plays vs. the Canadiens.

Brisebois has spent most of the season with Utica, where he has three goals and eight assists in 49 games on their blueline. The 21-year-old could play his third career game on Wednesday with Ben Hutton battling a foot injury.
