Per Mark Lazerus of The Athletic, Kane (lower body) is expected to return to action Saturday versus Seattle, according to coach Luke Richardson.
EDGE Analysis
Kane will not play Thursday against Colorado, as he was placed on injured reserve to open up a roster spot for the returning Mackenzie Entwistle, who has missed the last six games with a wrist injury. Kane will be eligible to return Saturday. He has seven goals and 20 assists in 37 games this season.

Kane (lower body) is doubtful to suit up against Colorado on Thursday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kane continues to be labeled day-to-day by coach Luke Richardson but is poised to miss his third consecutive contest. With just 27 points in 37 games this year, Kane could fail to average over a point per game in a season for the first time since 2017-18 when he logged 76 points in 82 contests.

Kane (lower body) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Avalanche, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kane's status might be determined after Wednesday's practice. If he misses the skate then he probably won't be an option for Thursday's game, but if Kane practices and everything goes well, then he's likely to make his return. The 34-year-old has seven goals and 27 points in 37 games this season. He's missed the Blackhawks' last two contests.

EDGE Analysis
Despite skating Sunday morning, Kane will miss a second game with a lower-body injury. The 34-year-old winger could rejoin the Blackhawks Thursday against Colorado. Philipp Kurashev will likely remain on Chicago's top line in Kane's absence with Reese Johnson remaining in the lineup.

Kane (lower body) could be in the lineup against Arizona on Friday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kane will see how he feels Friday before a determination is made as to whether or not he will dress against the Coyotes. Kane has seven goals and 27 points in 37 games, a far cry from his 92-point season in 2021-22.

Kane is dealing with a lower-body injury that originated in Sunday's game versus the Sharks, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kane was able to participate in Tuesday's contest initially, but he only lasted two periods before exiting. The fact that he was able to play through the issue for a bit suggests it may not be too significant, but the Blackhawks will likely remain cautious with the star winger, as he will likely command high value around the trade deadline. The Blackhawks' next game is Friday versus the Coyotes.

Kane (undisclosed) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear what caused Kane's injury, but he was ruled out during the second intermission. He led Blackhawks forwards through two periods with 12:57 of ice time, recording two shots on goal and two PIM. He should be considered day-to-day ahead of Friday's game versus the Coyotes.

Kane scored a goal on five shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Kane is starting to find his scoring touch a bit with three goals and two assists over his last five games. The 34-year-old opened the scoring Sunday at 6:40 of the second period. Kane performing at a point-per-game pace over any stretch wouldn't be a big deal in past years, but he's struggled to compensate for a lack of talent on the Blackhawks' roster. He has seven tallies, 20 assists, 131 shots and a minus-24 rating through 36 appearances this season.
