Patrick Kane Injury: Blackhawks RW Left Game With Apparent Injured Knee
Kane was Chicago's second leading scorer with 27 points and is the latest in a line of scorers the Blackhawks have been missing. Marian Hossa has been out of the lineup for a week and is expected to miss two to three more and Fernando Pisani has missed a handful of games as well.
The Blackhawks defeated the Flames 4-2, with four power play goals including two from Dave Bolland. Brian Bickell and Jonathan Toews score the other goals for the Blackhawks while Jarome Iginla and Anton Babchuk scored the lone goals for the Flames.
