Status report
Kane, a forward, left in the second period of Chicago’s 5-2 home loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Monday with an upper-body injury and did not return. Coach Jeff Blashill said Kane is going to miss a couple of games and did not travel to Florida for this three-game road trip. … Boucher was brought up from Rockford of the American Hockey League on Tuesday. … Byram, a defenseman, was placed on IR by the Blackhawks. He has missed the past eight games. … Cooper Black, a goalie who made one start for the Panthers during Markstrom’s absence last month, was returned to Charlotte of the AHL. ... Balinskis replaces Gudas, who is a healthy scratch.
