Kane (upper body) is expected back in the lineup against the Rangers on Friday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kane is set to return from a nine-game absence due to his upper-body issue. With the veteran winger back in the lineup, he figures to step into a top-six role in addition to joining one of the two power-play groups. Prior to his absence, Kane was rolling offensively with two goals and three assists in his opening five games this year.

Kane (upper body) participated in Thursday's practice session, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kane has been sidelined since mid-October due to his upper-body injury, and Thursday marked the first time that he joined the Red Wings for practice since the start of his absence. It's not yet clear whether he'll be in the mix to return for Friday's game against the Rangers, but he at least appears to be progressing in his recovery.

Kane (upper body) won't travel with the team to St. Louis but hopes to join the Red Wings at some point on their road trip, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Kane missed the Red Wings' last four games with injury after starting the year with five points in the first five games. The 36-year-old winger won't play the second half of the home-and-home with the Blues on Tuesday, but he hopes to re-join the team at some point on the west coast swing that includes games against the Kings, Sharks, Ducks and Golden Knights.

Kane (upper body) won't be in the lineup against the Blues on Saturday, according to Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Kane has resumed skating but will miss his fourth straight game. He has generated two goals, five points and nine shots on net through five appearances this season. Mason Appleton has been logging time in Detroit's top six due to Kane's absence.

Kane will not play in the club's upcoming two-game road trip, according to Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Kane will miss games against the Sabres and Islanders on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively. The veteran winger skated Tuesday, and head coach Todd McLellan said that Kane could be available for Saturday's home game against the Blues. Michael Brandsegg-Nygard could remain in a top-six role until the 36-year-old Kane is ready to return to the lineup.

Kane (upper body) won't be in the lineup against Edmonton on Sunday, per Ansar Khan of MLive.com.

EDGE Analysis

Kane will miss at least one game after suffering the injury late in Friday's 2-1 overtime win over Tampa Bay. He still has to be evaluated further, so a timeline for his return remains unclear. If Lucas Raymond (upper body) isn't ready to play against the Oilers, Jonatan Berggren will replace Kane in Sunday's lineup.

Kane scored a power-play goal in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Kane doubled the Red Wings' lead midway through the second period with a wrister on the power play. He has two goals this season while amassing three of his five points (one goal, two assists) on the power play. He has two goals and three helpers through the first four games of the season.

Kane had a goal and two assists Saturday in a 6-3 victory over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

His goal came late in the second when he one-timed a pass from Alex DeBrincat from the right circle. Kane has four points (one goal, three assists) in his first two games this season; two of those helpers have come on the power play, including one Saturday. Kane will turn 37 in November, but he continues to be an Energizer Bunny on offense. He put up 59 points, including 21 goals, and fired 175 shots last season, and another year like that is well within reach.

Kane signed a one-year, $3 million contract with the Red Wings on Monday, per Chris Johnston of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Kane can earn up to $7 million next season if he attains his performance bonuses. The three-time Stanley Cup champion generated 21 goals and 59 points while averaging 17:59 of ice time over 72 games in 2024-25. Kane will continue to fill a top-six role while receiving time with the man advantage next season, and he'll be a big factor in helping Detroit attempt to snap its nine-year postseason drought.

Kane recorded a goal and an assist in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning. He also recorded two shots, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating.

EDGE Analysis

Kane set up Marco Kasper's equalizer in the third period and scored an unassisted goal in the second frame. Kane has delivered solid scoring in 2024-25, collecting 21 goals and 57 points in 69 contests. It's the most productive he has been since the 2021-22 campaign when he had 92 points in 78 games for the Blackhawks.
