Keith (knee) practiced Friday, Tracey Myers of CSN Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Keith pulled out of playing for Team Canada in the Hockey World Cup to nurse his surgically-repaired knee. It's still unknown how much Keith will participate in the preseason, but the veteran defenseman has been skating for about a month. The Blackhawks will take a cautious approach with Keith, but assistant coach Mike Kitchen believes that Keith "should be fine" for the regular season. Last season, the 33-year-old notched 50 points (nine goals, 41 assists) in 75 games.
