Evans (upper body) is skating ahead of practice in a non-contact jersey, Scott Malone of Root Sports reports.
Evans is expected to be out until mid-November after he sustained the injury during training camp. Evans is a candidate to see some power-play time, but he has Vince Dunn and Brandon Montour ahead of him on the depth chart. Evans had five goals and 20 assists in 73 games in 2024-25, including three points with the man advantage.
