Three different law enforcement sources with knowledge of the legal case against Patrick Kane say a grand jury investigation has been "abruptly postponed," the Buffalo News reported Tuesday.
Two of the sources told the newspaper's Lou Michel that "the reason for the delay appears to involve the possibility of ongoing settlement talks between attorneys for Kane and the victim."

The friend of the alleged victim, who claims Kane raped her in his Hamburg, N.Y., home last month, was subpoenaed to appear before the grand jury this afternoon at 2 p.m. ET.
Kane has not been arrested or charged with a crime. Blackhawks training camp begins in 10 days, though it's unknown whether Kane will be in South Bend.
