BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Just two days after losing star center Jack Eichel to a long-term injury, the Buffalo Sabres suffered another big loss Thursday night, when first-line winger Evander Kane crashed into the end boards.The play happened with 11.3 seconds to go in the second period of Buffalos season opener versus the Montreal Canadiens. Kane became tangled with Montreal defenseman Alexei Emelin but appeared to simply lose an edge on his skates as he flew violently into the boards.He rolled around in clear agony on the ice. Kane needed help to get to the dressing room.He did not return for the third period and was taken to the hospital for further evaluation and precautionary measures, the Sabres said.As for Eichel, Sabres general manager Tim Murray told reporters that the center could be out for as long as six to eight weeks, although the team has not put a firm timeline on a return.I guess some guys have come back after four or so, but we cant count on that and we cant sit here and wait for four weeks to come and think its all going to get better. We have to prepare, Murray said. You know me, glass half empty, prepare long term and anything that is better than that is a bonus.Kyle Okposo and Dmitry Kulikov also missed Thursdays opener against Montreal with injuries.

MOSCOW -- The IAAF may reanalyze Russian samples from the 2014 world indoor track championships over suspicions that athletes who failed doping tests were allowed to compete.Messages between then-Moscow laboratory director Grigory Rodchenkov and Sports Ministry official Alexei Velikodny, released on Friday as part of World Anti-Doping Agency investigator Richard McLarens report into Russian doping, show eight athletes gave suspicious samples the week before they were to travel to the competition in Sopot, Poland.The samples collected at the national training base near Moscow included three with unusually high testosterone levels, four containing the anabolic agent ostarine, and one containing both ostarine and the banned steroid turinabol.All were given save orders by Velikodny -- the command which meant a suspicious sample should be recorded as clean. Rodchenkov, however, responded that some cases would have to be reported positive.Rodchenkov asked for one sample with a big ostarine reading to be given a quarantine order, typically meaning it would be treated as a usual disciplinary case, though whether that happened is not documented elsewhere in the McLaren report files.The fate of another case with a large ostarine reading is unclear, though the details given appear to match with Svetlana Biryukova, a long jumper who was removed from the team shortly before the championships and later banned for two years. Biryukova was the favorite for gold in the long jump and had set the best indoor result of the year.The identities of the remaining six given save orders are unclear, but the events listed for them include some in which Russia won medals in Sopot.dddddddddddd It is not clear whether any ever faced disciplinary action.We are going through the names we have been given by Prof. McLarens team and where we have samples from the relevant period we will reanalyze, the IAAF said Tuesday in an emailed statement.Russian officials have not disputed the authenticity of the emails in the McLaren report. Neither Rodchenkov nor Velikodny could be reached for comment.Russia sent a strong team to the 2014 world indoors, winning three gold and two silver medals to place second behind the United States in the medals table.The IAAF banned Russia from all international competition in November 2015 after an earlier WADA-commissioned report into the Russian track team alleged widespread drug use and extortion. That ban remains in effect and led to Russia being able to field only one track athlete at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.However, in recent months, Russian track officials have said the country could send competitors to the European indoor championships in Belgrade in March if they apply to the IAAF as individuals rather than as representatives of the suspended federation.As to competing internationally, the IAAF taskforce was very clear in its last report that Russia still has not met the criteria established for their readmission to membership of the IAAF, the IAAF said Tuesday. There is an existing process whereby athletes can apply ... to participate internationally as independent neutral athletes. ' ' '
