Kane has already missed six games due to the upper-body injury. This is quickly becoming a lost regular season for Kane in his first full campaign in Edmonton. Between this issue and the injury to his wrist, Kane only has nine goals and 19 points in 24 games. That being said, it may not matter. The Oilers should qualify for the playoffs, and how Kane performs during the postseason will be much more important than what happens the rest of this regular season.
On Saturday, the Oilers will play the second half of their back-to-back games versus the Winnipeg Jets. The Oilers are +172 (-1.5) on the puck line and -138 on the moneyline, with an over/under of 6.5, over (-142), and under (+116). You can find the lines and props for this game and all others on the FanDuel Sportsbook.
