Evander Kane releases statement following gruesome injury on Tuesday night
During last night's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, Edmonton Oilers forward Evander Kane suffered a pretty gruesome injury. After being hit, Kane fell to the ice and was then accidently stepped on by Pat Maroon.
Kane got up immediately and skated quickly to the Oilers bench, holding his arm. He was then taken to hospital and underwent surgery late on Tuesday night.
On Wednesday morning, Kane released a statement thanking everyone for their wishes and thanking the training staff of the Oilers and Lightning for their quick action.
"Thank you all for the kind wishes and prayers from over the past several hours. Obviously last night was an extremely scary moment for me and I'm still in a little bit of shock. I would like to thank the entire training staff of the Edmonton Oilers and Tampa Bay Lightning, along with the doctors and paramedics who rushed to help treat and repair my injury. Without all of you I know things would have been much worse and I'm sincerely grateful. I won't be back next games, but I will be back and I look forward to being back on the ice playing the game I love alongside my teammates in front of our great fans," Kane said.
On the mend, thank you 🙏 pic.twitter.com/8ZN7K5KAfc— Evander Kane (@evanderkane) November 9, 2022
