Sabres left wing Evander Kane missed practice Sunday amid multiple reports that he is being investigated for a sex offense.

The alleged incident, first reported by the Buffalo News, is said to have taken place Sunday morning in a downtown Buffalo hotel near the First Niagara Center, where the Sabres play their home games.

The NHL eliminated its policy Tuesday that allowed teams to seek compensation when other franchises hired away a coach or executive under contract.

Commissioner Gary Bettman told the Board of Governors that as of Jan. 1, the league will revert to its old policy that gave teams the right to grant or deny permission to other franchises to talk to coaches and executives under contract. But if a coach or executive does switch teams there will be no compensation allowed.
