Injured Canucks Forward Evander Kane Not With Team On Current California Road Trip

The Vancouver Canucks will be missing Evander Kane when they begin their three-game California road trip on Thursday. After morning skate, Head Coach Adam Foote confirmed that Kane did not make the trip and said, "He's going through some stuff. He's been fighting through it.

Along with that, and us wanting to go with some young guys. " While Foote has mentioned a few times that Kane has been dealing with an injury, no specifics have been released. This includes what the injury is and when exactly Kane suffered it.

Kane has missed three of the last four games for Vancouver and has skated in 71 of the team's 77 games this year. With Kane out for the road trip, the question now is whether or not he will play again this season. The Canucks have only five games left, with the final regular-season game scheduled for April 16.

Kane is an unrestricted free agent this season and ranks sixth on Vancouver's roster with 31 points. The Canucks kick off their California road trip on Thursday against the Los Angeles Kings. Thursday is a must-win game for the Kings , as they look to secure a spot in the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
