Earlier concerns arose when Kane left Sunday's game against Toronto with a 'lower body injury,' sparking worries about his hip, especially given his history with hip issues.
However, Friedman's recent statement brings relief to Red Wings fans:
This update diminishes the severity of the injury, ruling out a recurrence of the hip problem that plagued Kane in the past.
The clarification is a positive development for the Red Wings, as a prolonged absence from Kane could have had a significant impact on their season.
As more details emerge, the Detroit Red Wings and their supporters can be optimistic about Kane's return to the lineup without the looming threat of a prolonged recovery from a hip injury.
