BUFFALO, N.Y. — A 21-year-old Buffalo woman has sued Sabres’ forward Evander Kane, saying he seriously injured her in the hotel room where he lives.
Documents filed July 1 in Erie County State Supreme on behalf of Rachel Kuechle Court, say Kane met her in a bar, invited her to what he said was a party and then attacked her, causing cuts and bleeding that required multiple surgeries.
Kane had been cleared in March of any criminal charges after authorities investigated the Dec. 27 encounter initially described as a possible sexual assault.
His lawyer didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday but has denied any wrongdoing by his client.

Kane pleaded not guilty Monday to non-criminal harassment, disorderly conduct and trespass stemming from an unrelated incident at a bar in June.
