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 is skating without equipment testing his injured knee. The Jets announced on Thursday that Kane is progressing well and was expected to skate over the weekend, but he is on the ice this afternoon, which is a great sign in his recovery.
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.
The Jets originally announced that he will miss at least two games, but now they will reevaluate him in two weeks and see where he is at. Head coach Paul Maurice felt like this was good news considering how serious they thought the injury originally was. Expect Dustin Byfuglien to continue to play a bigger role in Kane's absence.
Kane was injured in his third shift on Thursday night after a collision with linemate Mark Scheifele. Kane underwent an MRI today, but there is no report as to exactly how long he will be out. The fact that they are only ruling him out for two games is an encouraging sign that the injury is not crazy serious, but expect the Jets to release a timetable over the weekend--they likely need to see how his knee responds, before they have a true idea of the severity.
Kane last just thee shifts in the Jets season opener vs. the Coyotes. He totalled just 1:24 of ice-time before retiring to the dressing room for the night.

Winnipeg is back in action on Saturday, expect an update on Kane on Friday morning.
Kane served as a healthy scratch on Saturday night, but will be back in the Jets' lineup tonight vs. Minnesota. Kane has not scored a goal in his last seven games, but will look to finish the season strong; starting tonight.
When asked why Kane was being scratched, head coach Paul Maurice simply stated it was "coach's decision". The Maple Leafs catch a break with one of the Jets most dynamic players out of the lineup.
Kane was one of the last players off of the ice at the Jets' morning skate which suggests that he will be a healthy scratch tonight vs. the Maple Leafs. Kane has two goals and five assists in his last 10 games. This could be fallout from the assault accusations that were slapped on him during the week.
A Vancouver-area resident, is seeking unspecified financial damages in a statement of claim filed last week in the Supreme Court of British Columbia. He alleges he was jumped by Kane one evening last August as he was walking home from a bar where he was working in promotions. He claims he suffered a concussion and numerous injuries to his head, neck, back, shoulders, chest, ribs and leg that are causing ongoing headaches, dizziness, nausea, fatigue and insomnia as a result.
Myers, who just returned from an elbow injury, is now sidelined with a different upper-body ailment now. Rasmus Ristolainen is up from Rochester and will play tonight, but it does not sound like Myers will be out long-term.
Myers who had just returned to the lineup on Tuesday after missing five games with an elbow injury, suffered an upper-body injury in his first game back and will likely "miss some time" according to Sabres head coach Ted Nolan. With Myers out, Rasmus Ristolainen has been recalled from Rochester.
Myers has missed the last five games with an arm injury that he suffered in mid-March. The Sabres sent 19-year-old Rasmus Ristolainen back to the AHL to make space for Myers. He has nine goals, 13 assists and 58 penalty minutes with a minus-26 rating in 61 games this season. At 24-years-old, the 6-foot-8 D-man has certainly taken a step back in the last four seasons after a great rookie campaign in 2009-10.
Myers has been battling an undisclosed injury lately, but has still been playing nearly 25 minutes a night. He will take a seat tonight and call-up Rasmus Ristolainen will be in.

Myers missed the Sabres last two games before the Olympic break with a knee injury that he suffered on February 3 vs. Edmonton. Myers has just one assist with an ugly minus-11 in his last eight games. He should see his regular 20-plus minutes in his return on Tuesday.
Myers was expected to miss tonight's game, but interim head coach Ted Nolan confirmed that he is not healthy enough to play. Chad Ruhwedel will re-enter the lineup in Myers spot. The Sabres are hopeful that Myers will be available on Thursday.
Myers was injured on Monday, but the injury is not as serious as originally expected. He is listed as day-to-day and may miss tonight's tilt with the Penguins.
This is a terrible break for the Jets. Kane has been in and out of the lineup with injuries all season. In four games since returning from his hand injury he had four points (1G / 3A). He has totalled 29 points (15G / 14A) in 42 games this season.
Kane missed the last four games with a hand injury but will be back on Tuesday on a line with Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler. Kane has 25 points (14G / 11A) in 38 games this season including five goals and two assists in his last five games.
