Buffalo Sabres forward Evander Kane apologized Tuesday for missing a team practice a day earlier, adding he takes “full accountability” for his actions.

Kane attended the NBA all-star game in Toronto on Sunday night and missed Monday’s practice after sleeping in. The team suspended him from Tuesday night’s game in Ottawa for breaking a team rule.

“I want to apologize to my teammates, the (team owner) Pegula family as well, and obviously our coaching staff and general manager,” Kane said. “It’s something that should have never happened and it’s something I can promise you won’t happen again, and it’s something I’m definitely going to learn from.”

The 24-year-old Kane has 16 goals and eight assists in 47 games with Buffalo this season. He was acquired from the Winnipeg Jets last year.

Kane added he was “extremely disappointed” he let his teammates down. He’s hopeful he’ll be back in the lineup for Friday’s road game against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

“I know Evander addressed his teammates (Monday) when we got in to Ottawa,” said head coach Dan Bylsma. “Evander broke a team rule and he’s suffering the consequences of that and that’s the way we’re going to deal with it.”

ORDER OF HOCKEY INDUCTEES: Pittsburgh Penguins great Mario Lemieux and women’s hockey star Geraldine Heaney headlined Tuesday’s announcement of the 2016 class of the Order of Hockey in Canada.

A winner of two Stanley Cups with the Penguins and now co-owner and chairman of the club, Lemieux left a mark on hockey in Canada and internationally.

Lemieux recorded 49 points in 36 games as a member of Team Canada and captained the country to victory at the 2002 Olympics and the 2004 World Cup. He also helped Canada to gold at the 1987 Canada Cup and silver at the 1985 world championship.

The Hockey Hall of Famer had 1,723 points in 915 games with the Penguins, and his career average of 1.883 points per game is second only to Wayne Gretzky.

Heaney helped Canada win gold at the 2002 Olympics as well as seven world championships in women’s hockey. She was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2013, doing her part to put women’s hockey on the map with a gold medal win at the inaugural world women’s championship in 1990.

Lemieux and Heaney were honoured alongside long-time Canadian Hockey League president David Branch and Bob Nicholson, former CEO and president of Hockey Canada and current CEO and vice-chair of the Edmonton Oilers.
