Edmonton Oilers forward Evander Kane is recovering after undergoing successful knee surgery.
The NHL team says he’s expected to need four to eight weeks of recovery time.
Specifics on Thursday’s procedure, which was performed in Edmonton, were not provided.
The club says Kane will pause his current rehabilitation from abdominal surgery last September to recover from the latest operation.
