Winnipeg Jets forward Evander Kane is set to return to the Jets lineup on Thursday night against the New Jersey Devils, the club announced.

The 23-year-old power forward has only appeared in three shifts so far this season, after sustaining a lower body injury in a collision with teammate Mark Scheifele in the Winnipeg Jets' season opener.

Kane took line rushes alongside Scheifele and Blake Wheeler on the Jets' second line. His presence in that spot should help a Jets club that currently ranks 27th among NHL teams in goals per game this season.
