Buffalo Sabres left wing Evander Kane, another irreplaceable fantasy asset, is out for the season because of an upper-body injury. That means fantasy owners in the midst of their league championship round need to go back to the well for reinforcement.
Kane, 102nd in Yahoo's performance-based rankings, has been among Buffalo's top-six forward group all season and is one of two players League-wide (Alex Ovechkin, Washington Capitals) with at least 20 goals, 250 shots on goal and 150 hits. If your league counts penalty minutes, the Sabres left wing covered that as well (91 this season), making him even more difficult to replace.
