Keith dished out three assists -- all on the power play -- in Monday's win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

It was a dominant offensive performance all around for the Hawks, and Keith got in on the fun a few times in the seven-goal outburst. The blueliner saw his production slow down a bit with just four points in 10 contests coming in to Monday's tilt, but he seems to have snapped out of it in tying a season-best in points with the trio of apples.

Keith's seventh goal of the season held up as the game-winner Sunday against Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

It was a rocket from Keith, who also fired three shots on goal and blocked four shots. Keith has been hot of late, notching two goals and five points in his last three games. The 32-year-old has logged over 24 minutes of ice time in four straight outings and continues to be relied on heavily by a Blackhawks team that has posted three straight victories.

Keith scored his sixth goal of the season and had two assists in 24:54 of ice time in Tuesday's win over the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

A monster night for Keith, who helped the Blackhawks snap a two-game losing streak. The 32-year-old has five points in his last four games and now has 21 points in 28 games on the season. His goal Tuesday came on the power play, where he continues to man the point on the team's first man advantage unit. Keep him rolling, as the minute-muncher is one of the most reliable fantasy blueliners around.

Keith dished out a pair of assists in Sunday's win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Keith just keeps ticking along, as he's up to 18 points in just 25 contests. The 32-year-old has been on a force on the power play and remains one of the best around on the blue line for fantasy owners.

Keith picked up two helpers in 25:58 of ice time in Saturday's overtime loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Keith has been excellent since returning from a knee injury, recording four goals and seven points in eight games. He's back to running the power play and has recorded a point with the man advantage in back-to-back games. The 32-year-old is a workhorse on the blueline and one of the best fantasy defenseman you can own.

Keith scored a goal and added an assist in Friday's 3-2 come-from-behind win over the Ducks. The assist came on the power play.

EDGE Analysis

Keith was the straw that stirred the Hawks' drink Friday. First, he set up the power-play marker to get the Hawks on the board with 1:41 left in the game. Then, he scored the tying goal with just 27 seconds remaining. His overall numbers are depressed, but he still has eight points in 13 games. And with good health comes great output. Use him well.

Keith (knee) will make his return to the Blackhawks' blueline for Thursday's matchup with St. Louis, Brian Hedger of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Keith has missed the Chicago's last 10 games after undergoing knee surgery on October 20, but has been a full-participant in practice since November 10. Whenever a player misses an extended period of time, a certain level of rust is to be expected. That being said, Keith is an elite defenseman who's transition back into the lineup should be fairly seamless, leaving no reason to be cautious about using him in any fantasy format.

Keith (knee) was cleared for contact Tuesday, and could return to game action as soon as Saturday against the Blues, Tracey Myers of CSN Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Keith returned to the ice for Sunday's morning skate, marking the first time the star defender has skated since undergoing knee surgery on Oct. 20. He was cleared for contact Tuesday, and is expected to be a full participant in Wednesday's practice. The Hawks may opt to hold Keith out of Saturday's tilt against the Blues so that he can make his return in the second of back-to-back games Sunday against the Flames. That way, Keith wouldn't immediately be over-exerted less than four weeks after undergoing knee surgery, and would have a few days to rest before next Wednesday's matchup with the Oilers. Either way, Keith's impending return will be a tremendous boost to Chicago's depleted defensive corps.

Keith participated in the Blackhawks' morning skate for the first time since his knee injury, Tracey Myers of CSN Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's an important milestone in Keith's recovery, but he still likely has a week or two before he is able to return. A mid-to-late November comeback is the likely outcome, but further progress will be needed for that to be a guarantee.

Keith (knee) was placed on long-term injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

This isn't too much of a surprise and doesn't change his timetable. Keith is still expected to miss four-to-six weeks with this injury that hurts the Blackhawks' already thin blue line.
