Keith is going to retire from hockey, reports Pierre LeBrun of TSN.
EDGE Analysis
The 38-year-old Keith has had a likely Hall of Fame career, putting up 106 goals and 646 points in 1,256 games with the Blackhawks and just a single season with the Oilers. He earned the Norris trophy twice and the Conn Smythe once, and Keith hoisted the Stanley Cup three times in Chicago. There's term left on his deal, and due to the cap recapture mechanism, the Blackhawks will be on the hook for a $5.5 million penalty this season and $1.9 million next season. Keith is going out on his terms and that's fitting for this former star.

Keith notched an assist and blocked four shots in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Flames in Game 5.
EDGE Analysis
Keith helped out on Evan Bouchard's game-tying goal at 16:08 of the second period. The 38-year-old Keith has only gotten on the scoresheet in three of the Oilers' 12 playoff contests, but he's picked up five points. The experienced blueliner has played big minutes in a top-four role, and he's added 24 blocked shots, 14 shots on net and a minus-3 rating.

Keith scored a goal on two shots and added a pair of assists in Friday's 5-3 win over the Flames in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
Keith sparked the Oilers' comeback push with a first-period tally. He also set up Connor McDavid and Evan Bouchard (on the power play) in the second period as the visitors pulled even at 3-3. Prior to Friday, Keith had one point in eight playoff games, so this level of production shouldn't be expected regularly. The 38-year-old has added 13 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in a top-four role.

Keith posted a power-play assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Kings in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
Keith ended the regular season on a four-game point drought, but that ended when he set up Kailer Yamamoto's second-period tally. The 38-year-old Keith is expected to play a top-four role in the postseason while adding a wealth of playoff experience. Prior to this year, the defenseman has amassed 86 points in 135 playoff contests while lifting the Stanley Cup three times as a member of the Blackhawks.

Keith produced an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Friday's 6-3 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Keith has picked up assists in each of the last two games. He also had to take on 21:34 of ice time, his highest total since March 9, when Darnell Nurse (lower body) exited the game. Keith is up to 21 points, 78 shots, 100 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating through 60 contests, but he's mainly seen a second-pairing role for much of the season. With Nurse's status unclear for Sunday in Columbus, the 38-year-old Keith could be asked to play a larger role in the near term.

Keith notched an assist, went plus-5 and blocked two blocked in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
This was the first time in Keith's illustrious career that he posted a plus-5 in a single contest. His helper Wednesday came on Connor McDavid's empty-net tally late in the third period. Prior to this game, Keith had gone minus-4 with no points, 19 blocks and 14 shots on net in his previous nine outings. The 38-year-old is at 20 points, 76 shots, 98 blocked and a plus-11 rating through 59 appearances for the season.

Keith logged a power-play assist and blocked two shots in Monday's 6-1 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Keith has an assist in each of the last three games, and two of them have come on the power play. The 38-year-old defenseman probably can't keep this small surge of offense going much longer. He's been alright with 19 points, 62 shots on net, 77 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating through 49 contests in a mostly defensive role.

Keith notched an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 9-5 loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Keith helped out on a Derick Brassard goal in the first minute of the game. This was Keith's second straight game with an assist, but he's posted just four helpers in 13 outings in March. The 38-year-old is up to 18 points, 62 shots on goal, 75 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating in 48 contests. He's been a fixture on the second pairing when healthy.

Keith notched a power-play assist in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Keith helped out on a Kailer Yamamoto goal in the second period, a rare instance of the Oilers' second power-play unit making an impact. The 38-year-old Keith has been an inconsistent contributor on offense with just three assists in his last 12 contests. For the season, he's at 17 points, 75 blocked shots, 62 shots on net and a plus-8 rating in 47 appearances. He's played primarily on the second pairing in a defensive role.

Keith served two assists in a 7-5 win over the Red Wings on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Keith had not added a point since returning from the injured reserve (upper body) on March 1 against Philadelphia. The veteran defenseman has never been much for goal-scoring, but still is viable when it comes to assists, with 15 helpers in 42 games this season.
