The Evander Kane injury is as bad as it looked live, as Dan Bylsma told the media today the Sabres forward has three broken ribs. He's expected to be out for weeks.

Kane left the team's season opener last night in the second period after going into the boards hard. Contact with Montreal defenseman Alexi Emelin forced Kane to the ice, and he was unable to stop his momentum before crashing into the boards behind the net. He was taken to the hospital.
