Blackhawks' Kane sidelined for 6-8 weeks with broken wrist

Published November 20, 2014

CHICAGO, July 15 - Chicago Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane has a broken wrist and will need six to eight weeks to recover from surgery, the team said on Friday.

Kane, who scored the Stanley Cup-winning goal in overtime for Chicago in 2010, suffered the injury to his left wrist during his offseason training and is expected to be ready for training camp.

Kane, selected first overall by the Blackhawks in the 2007 National Hockey League's (NHL) Entry Draft, was second on Chicago with 73 points last season including a team-high 46 assists.

The twice All-Star and former rookie of the year has 103 goals and 200 assists for 303 points in 317 games during four seasons with the Blackhawks.

Chicago open their regular season on October 7 against Dallas.
