Edmonton Oilers forward Evander Kane resumed skating Saturday, less than a month after his frightening injury.
Kane, 31, sustained a lacerated left wrist in the second period of a Nov. 8 game against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
He dropped to the ice after getting tangled up with Lightning defenseman Philippe Myers before Patrick Maroon accidently skated over his wrist.
With a sizable pool of blood on the ice, Kane stood up, grabbed his wrist and headed frantically to the Edmonton dressing room. He had surgery to repair the injury.
An NHL Network correspondent shared video on Twitter Saturday of Kane working on individual drills but there is no official timeline for his return.
