The Sabres might not see South Buffalo native Patrick Kane when they play their return engagement against the Chicago Blackhawks Saturday night in the United Center. Kane was ill and missed practice Thursday, and he did not make the trip to Columbus for tonight's game against the Blue Jackets. Coach Joel Quenneville said the Hawks will likely call someone up from the minor leagues to replace him.
