Kanee was placed on the injured reserve Wednesday but is eligible and expected to still play Saturday when Chicago takes on Seattle. Kane has missed the Blackhawks' previous two games and will not return to the lineup Thursday vs. Colorado as he deals with a lower-body injury. The 34-year-old has not produced like his usual self this season, with seven goals, 20 assists, 100 SOG and a -24 plus/minus.
Kane has missed the Blackhawks' previous two games and is doubtful to return to the lineup Thursday vs. Colorado as he deals with a lower-body injury. The 34-year-old has not produced like his usual self this season, with seven goals, 20 assists, 100 SOG and a -24 plus/minus.
Kane left Chicago's previous contest vs. Tampa Bay after just 13 shifts and 12:57 TOI due to an undisclosed injury and will sit out Friday as well. Kane has stated it is not a bad injury, just a lingering one, which is good news as the 34-year-old is leading the Blackhawks in both points (27) and assists (20) this season.
Kane has missed the last four games in COVID-19 protocol but could play Monday vs. the Senators. Being activated doesn't guarantee he will play, Brandon Saad sat out after being activated by the Blues over the weekend, so we'll provide another update later.
Kane missed Wednesday’s game in Vancouver with an illness and head coach Joel Quenneville was unsure whether or not he would be available for Thursday’s game in Edmonton. Chris Kunitz played on the second line in Kane’s spot last night.
Kane missed the Blackhawks morning skate with an illness and is officially listed as a game-time decision for tonight’s game in Vancouver. Kane has had a great start to the season, scoring 11 goals with seven assists (18 points) in 12 games this season. David Kampf or Andreas Martinsen would replace Kane if he can’t play.
Kane is facing rape allegations and the case is expected to go to a grand jury. Attending training camp is good news for Kane and his potential fantasy owners, but there is still uncertainty surrounding him until the case is closed.
Kane has been out with broken collarbone since February 24th, but he will be back for game 1 vs. the Predators. This is a massive boost for the Blackhawks lineup and should make them clear-cut favourites in this series. He had 27 goals and 37 assists (64 points) in 61 games before getting injured.
Kane was a full participant in Monday’s practice and coach Quenneville seems positive about the possibility of Kane being ready for Game 1. Monitor his status again on Tuesday.
Kane has been out since February 24th but got rid of his no-contact sweater this morning and skated in his usual spot on the Blackhawks second line with Brad Richards and Kris Versteeg. Kane also practiced with the top power-play unit, both of which are good signs that Kane could be back in the lineup for Game 1.
Kane is just five weeks into a 12-week timeline and when coach Joel Quenneville was asked if his timeline has changed, the coach said “There’s been excellent progress. It could be good news. We’ll see.” This is great news for the Blackhawks, but when he will return remains fuzzy. He could be back in time for game-1 of the playoffs.
This is even longer than the original reports, but with the playoffs starting in seven weeks, Kane’s season appears to be over. This is a terrible break for a player who was trying to become the first American born player to win the scoring title. This will put a lot of weight Kris Versteeg and Patrick Sharp to put the puck in the net.
Kane suffered a “significant” upper-body injury in Tuesday’s game against the Panthers. There has been no official word on exactly how long he will be sidelined, but his movement to LTIR means that he will miss a minimum of 10 games or 24 days. He is expected to be sidelined for longer than that, but we will wait for the official timeline from the team.
