The Edmonton Oilers got some great news earlier this week when Evander Kane's return date was announced.
With Evander set to return tonight, the Oilers will have to get creative with their cap situation. Now they've placed Kailer Yamamoto with an undisclosed injury on LTIR.
While on one hand this could just be cap mechanics, it could mean the Oilers have lost one of their most dynamic bottom-six forwards.
We will keep you updated as this story develops.
