Keith (knee) will not participate in the Blackhawks' first four preseason games, Chris Kuc of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite the knee injury, Keith should return to his 2015-16 form that saw him rack up nine goals and 34 assists, including 18 points with the man advantage. Even if it takes the blueliner a few games to shake off the rust, fantasy owners would be hard pressed to find a more consistent scorer among defensemen.
