Red Wings provide another worrisome injury update on forward Patrick Kane

The Detroit Red Wings will be without key forward Patrick Kane for quite some time, according to the NHL Insider.

The veteran has been out of the lineup after suffering an upper-body injury during the team's 2-1 OT win against the Tampa Bay Lightning on October 17th.

Kane has missed the last five games against the Edmonton Oilers, Buffalo Sabres, New York Islanders, and St. Louis Blues.

Now it appears he'll be out of the lineup for the next two games for the Red Wings, as Mason Appleton and Lucas Raymond could stay put in their current positions in the lineup.

The Original Six team will miss "Showtime" on the ice, as he's still a 20-goal scorer in the twilight of his career.

The former 1st-overall pick of the 2007 NHL Draft scored 59 points (21-38) last season while being a staple in the top six.

Kane, Lucas Raymond, and now prospect Carter Mazur are just some of the injuries the Red Wings have had to deal with these past few weeks.

It'd be right to expect the team to be worn down by this attrition in the lineup, but instead, they've shown the kind of resiliency you come to expect from scrappy teams.

And I'd define this Todd McLellan-led team as resilient, as they've shown they're capable of moving past their struggles and finding a way to stay atop the Atlantic Division.
