Edmonton Oilers forward Evander Kane, who was already out this season due to abdominal surgery last fall, has had his rehab put on hold because of knee surgery this week.
The hard-checking winger underwent knee surgery on Thursday, according to a release from the Oilers Friday morning.

Kane will be speaking to media later Friday morning.
