Kane scored a goal and added an assist in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran winger has posted back-to-back multi-point performances as he's begun to find his form with Detroit. Kane has two goals on 26 shots plus four helpers in eight games since making his season debut, and he saw top-six minutes Wednesday at even strength while also skating on the Red Wings' top power-play unit.

Kane picked up two assists in Monday's 4-3 home loss against the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Kane finished with five shots on goal and a hit in 19:30 of ice time across 20 shifts. It was his first game with multiple points as a member of the Red Wings. His last multi-point game in the regular season came March 18 against the Penguins as a member of the Rangers. He'll look to carry the momentum into Wednesday's road contest against the Jets.

Kane (hip) scored his first goal as a Red Wing in a 5-1 loss to the Senators on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Kane had almost scored early in the first, but Joonas Korpisalo came hard across the crease to make a pad save. Kane then scored under Korpisalo's glove from the right dot on a 4-on-3 power play to tie the game 1-1 at 14:49 of the first. The power play came after a melee following Dylan Larkin's injury. The goal was a patented Kaner snipe, so it's clear he's good to go.

Kane (hip) played 16:33 in Thursday's 6-5 overtime loss to San Jose.
EDGE Analysis
Kane fired three shots, had two others blocked and rang the post in the third period, and it was an otherwise strong performance in his first game in seven months. He had hip resurfacing surgery June 1. At this point, it's a matter of timing and getting comfortable in a new jersey for Kane, who has put up 1,237 points (451 goals, 786 assists) in his NHL career.

Kane (hip) is expected to make his season debut Thursday versus San Jose.
EDGE Analysis
Kane signed a one-year, $2.75 million contract with the Red Wings on Nov. 28. It's not yet confirmed how Detroit will utilize him Thursday, but it wouldn't be surprising to see the 35-year-old play alongside his former Blackhawks linemate Alex DeBrincat and also serve on the first power-play unit. Kane had 21 goals and 57 points in 73 contests between Chicago and the Rangers last season.

Kane (hip) told reporters he could play against the Rangers on Wednesday but will instead wait 7-10 days to make his Red Wings debut in order to get acclimated to his new team, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Based on Kane's timeline, he could be ready to suit up versus the Sharks on Dec. 7 or the Senators on Dec. 10. Early indications from coach Derek Lalonde are that Kane will play with former Blackhawks teammate Alex DeBrincat and Dylan Larkin (undisclosed) on the top line once he's ready.

Kane (hip) is unlikely to make his Red Wings debut this week, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kane needs to get practice with his new team after officially signing a contract Tuesday. The 35-year-old winger will likely be out of action for the next three games at a minimum. If he debuts early next week, he would don the Winged Wheel for the first time in his hometown of Buffalo next Tuesday, though no official timeline is available.

Kane (hip) signed a one-year, $2.75 million contract with the Red Wings on Tuesday, PuckPedia.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although as many as six teams had reportedly been in the mix to sign Kane over the past few months, the Red Wings emerged as the favorite to land the veteran winger's services in recent days -- according to Steve Warne of The Hockey News, Kane has already "been quietly skating in Detroit for the last few days." Although it's unclear when Kane will be ready to make his Wings debut, the fact that he's already been skating at the team's practice rink suggests he could be ready to play sooner rather than later. Once he's given the green light, look for Kane, who racked up 21 goals and 57 points through 73 games between the Blackhawks and the Rangers last year, to reunite with former Chicago teammate Alex DeBrincat on Detroit's second line while also seeing time on one of the Red Wings' power-play units.

Kane (hip) is expected to finalize a one-year contract with the Red Wings on Tuesday, Emily Kaplan of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kane will almost certainly be thrust into a top-six role with the Wings, perhaps replacing Joe Veleno on the top line to play alongside Dylan Larkin or with old friend Alex DeBrincat on the second line. In addition to his even-strength role, the veteran winger should be in the mix for a spot with the No. 1 power-play unit, though he's reportedly told the club that's not a prerequisite. After undergoing a major hip procedure, it's hard for fantasy players to know exactly what they will be getting out of Kane, but certainly a 40-50 point campaign, depending on when he first suits up for his new club, is not out of the question. Initial reports weren't clear when Kane might officially sign, though it likely won't be long.

Kane's agent Pat Brisson said Thursday that the winger has been cleared for contact as he recovers from hip surgery, Mario Tirabassi of CHGO Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kane is expected to start seriously considering offers from teams in November. The 34-year-old appears on track to be back in game action in the near future, but his fantasy value will largely hinge on what kind of role his new team gives him. Kane underwent hip resurfacing surgery in June.
