Winnipeg Jet forward Evander Kane skated with his teammates Wednesday at the MTS Iceplex for the first time since suffering lower-body injury in December.

Kane was supposed to be out until February, but he said he hopes to be ready to play on the Jets' upcoming three-game road trip.

Head coach Paul Maurice said he was impressed Kane was on the ice -- though the right winger wore a blue non-contact jersey during the practice skate.

There was no word on if Kane would be well enough to play on Thursday when the Jets take on the Arizona Coyotes.
