Patrick Kane Placed on Injured Reserve with Upper-Body Injury

Detroit Red Wings forward Patrick Kane was placed on injured reserve Sunday with an upper-body injury. Kane has missed three games since getting injured on Nov. 2 against the Colorado Avalanche. Because his IR placement is retroactive to Nov. 2, he could potentially return to the lineup as early as Thursday against the Buffalo Sabres if ready. Drew Commesso was recalled from AHL Rockford in a corresponding move.
