Evander Kane will return to the Winnipeg Jets’ lineup tonight in New Jersey.

Kane hasn’t played since the Jets’ season-opener on Oct. 9, when the 23-year-old winger hurt his knee early in the first period during a collision with teammate Mark Scheifele

The return of Kane should help bolster Winnipeg’s 27th-ranked offense, which is averaging just 2.11 goals per game.

The Jets got off to a disappointing 1-4-0 start, but have since won three of their last four.
