The Edmonton Oilers will not face any discipline from the NHL for their use of long-term injured reserve last season with respect to forward Evander Kane, deputy commissioner Bill Daly told reporters on Tuesday.

Kane recovered from abdominal and knee surgeries during the entire regular season before returning for Game 2 of the Western Conference first-round series versus the Los Angeles Kings.

He recorded 12 points (six goals, six assists) in 21 playoff games for Edmonton, which fell to the Florida Panthers in the Stanley Cup Final for the second consecutive season.

With Kane sidelined, the Oilers used some of the salary freed by having Kane on LTIR to acquire forward Trent Frederic and defenseman Jake Walman at the trade deadline.

Kane, who was traded to the Vancouver Canucks in June for a fourth-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, is heading into the final season of a four-year, $20.5 million contract.

Kane, 34, has totaled 617 points (326 goals, 291 assists) in 930 career regular-season games with the Atlanta/Winnipeg franchise (2009-15), Buffalo Sabres (2015-18), San Jose Sharks (2018-21) and Oilers. He was selected by the Thrashers with the fourth overall pick of the 2009 NHL Draft.
