Kane (lower-body) took part in Jets’ practice in a no-contact jersey on Wednesday.

Kane, who was placed on IR on Monday, took part in practice on Wednesday for the first time since being injured on December 27th. Kane is expected to be out until early February, but returning just one week into January is a positive sign that he could be back earlier. He will likely skate in a no-contact sweater for several days.

Myers (lower-body) will return to the Sabres lineup on Tuesday.

Myers has missed the last seven games with a lower-body injury but will get back into the lineup on Tuesday vs. New Jersey. "He's an anchor back there,” head coach Ted Nolan said after practice today. This is a big boost for the Sabres blue line—he will be paired with Josh Gorges.

Myers (undisclosed) is expected to return to the Sabres lineup on Friday.

Myers missed Wednesday’s game with an undisclosed injury, but it looks like he will be back on the blue line tonight vs. the Habs. He was paired with Tyson Strachan in the morning skate which suggests he will play. He has five points (1G / 4A) in 21 games.

Kane (knee) was on the ice with the Jets on Monday.

Kane started skating by himself on Friday and was on the ice with his teammates this morning. Kane has missed seven games with a knee injury he suffered in the regular season opener. He has reportedly been progressing well, but likely won't be available tomorrow, but Thursday seems like a real possibility.

Kane (leg) should resume skating this weekend.

Kane has been out since the season opener when he suffered a leg injury after playing just 1:24. The Jets announced Thursday that Kane is progressing well and are expecting him to start skating this weekend. The original timetable was "at least two week" and today marks the two-week point. The Jets could definitely use him back in the lineup but he is still at least one week away.
