Kane had a goal and an assist with a game-high eight shots in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to Carolina.

Kane set up Alex DeBrincat's breakaway strike just 1:35 into the game, then he potted a goal of his own to give the Blackhawks a 2-1 lead early in the second period. Kane has piled up four goals and two assists with 14 shots in goal in his first two games back following a stint in the league's COVID-19 protocols. He also has a plus-4 rating over those two contests.

Kane scored three times on six shots and added an assist in Monday's 5-1 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
It took Kane all of one period to shake off the rust after a stint in the league's COVID-19 protocols. He set up the first of Brandon Hagel's two goals late in the first period, then added a hat trick over the final 40 minutes for a triumphant return to the lineup. At his best, Kane remains a dynamic scoring threat. He's produced four goals, five assists, 30 shots on net and a minus-4 rating through six appearances.

Kane (COVID-19 protocols) is in Monday's lineup against Ottawa, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kane will return from a four-game absence after clearing protocols and returning to practice Monday. The 32-year-old winger has five points and a minus-7 rating through five games this season. He'll slide right back into his top-line role.

Kane (COVID-19 protocols) was activated off the league's protocols and returned to practice Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Kane has missed the club's previous four contests while in the NHL's COIVD-19 protocols, so it's unclear if he will immediately jump back into the lineup versus the Senators on Monday. If the 32-year-old winger does play, he figures to reclaim his place on the top line and No. 1 power-play unit. As such, Kane figures to be an elite-level fantasy target almost every time he plays.

Kane (COVID-19 protocols) will not play Saturday versus the Blues, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kane remains without a timeline to return. He'll need to be activated from the virus protocols before he can get back on the ice for practice. The winger's next chance to return is Monday versus the Senators.

Kane (COVID-19 protocols) will not be in Sunday's lineup against Detroit, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kane will miss his first game of the season while he's stuck in COVID-19 protocols. He's tallied five points in five games but owns an unsightly minus-7 rating. The 32-year-old winger will likely be questionable for Wednesday's tilt against Toronto.

Though Kane remains in the league's COVID-19 protocols Sunday, head coach Jeremy Colliton -- after morning skate -- did not rule him out for that night's game against Detroit, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
It was originally expected that Kane wouldn't play Sunday, and that still seems likely, but there's always the chance he's waiting on the result of a second consecutive (negative) COVID-19 test. Nonetheless, fantasy managers invested in the star winger should check back in around 6:30 p.m. EDT once pregame warmups begin to see if Kane is on the ice.

Kane remains in COVID-19 protocols and may not play against Detroit on Sunday, per Scott Powers of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
Teammates Ryan Carpenter and Erik Gustafsson, who also entered COVID-19 protocols with Kane on Saturday, were cleared to play. If he misses the game, Kane's next chance to return will come Wednesday against visiting Toronto. The star veteran has five points in five games this season.

Kane entered the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Saturday, Carter Baum of the Blackhawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kane was one of three Blackhawks that entered the league's virus protocols Saturday. At this point he should be considered questionable at best for Sunday's matchup with Detroit.
