Coach Derek Lalonde said Saturday that Kane (lower body) could play Wednesday versus Ottawa, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kane will not play Saturday against Vegas, which will be his sixth straight game on the shelf. He was injured in the opening period of Jan. 14's 4-2 victory over Toronto. The 35-year-old has seven goals, nine assists and 63 shots on goal in 19 contests this season.

Kane (lower body) was placed on injured reserve retroactive to Jan. 14 on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Kane will be eligible to return whenever he's deemed healthy enough to play, but he'll miss a fifth straight game against the Flyers on Thursday. The 35-year-old has been skating on his own, however, so there's a chance he could be ready to return Saturday versus Vegas or Wednesday against the Senators prior to the All-Star break.

Kane (lower body) skated Thursday, according to Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Wings play three games in the next week before taking 10 days off for the All-Star break and their bye week. Kane could return before the break, but if there is any question as to his health, Detroit will likely not take any chances and give him the extra time off. Kane has seven goals and 16 points in 19 games this season.

Kane (lower body) won't be an option versus Dallas on Tuesday but could start skating soon, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Based on Kane's timeline, he probably shouldn't be expected to face the Flyers on Thursday either, though he hasn't been officially ruled out. The 35-year-old Buffalo native has just four games left if he is going to return before the All-Star break. Still, the extra time off could benefit his long-term recovery, so perhaps the team will opt to hold him out until Feb. 10 versus Vancouver.

Kane (lower body) won't play Sunday versus Tampa Bay, per Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Kane will miss his third straight contest. He has a doctor's appointment scheduled for Sunday, so the Red Wings expect to know more about his status Monday. Kane has racked up seven goals, 16 points and 63 shots on net over 19 appearances this season.

Kane (lower body) won't play Wednesday against Florida or Friday against Carolina. The Red Wings expect to learn more about the veteran winger's injury when the team returns to Detroit ahead of Sunday's game versus Tampa Bay, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although at this point Kane has only officially been ruled out of the Wings' next two games, it sounds like the 35-year-old American could be sidelined beyond that with his lower-body issue. Christian Fischer could take on an expanded role while Kane, who's picked up seven goals and 16 points through 19 contests this season, is sidelined.

Kane (lower body) will not return to Sunday's game against Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Kane logged just 1:07 of ice time before suffering an injury during the first period Sunday. He didn't make his season debut until December as he was recovering from hip surgery but it's unclear if this injury is related. An update on the veteran winger's status should be available before Wednesday's matchup with the Panthers. Kane has seven goals and 16 points in 19 games this year.

Kane had a goal and an assist in a 5-3 win over the Kings on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Kane's goal stood as the winner. He tucked in a forehand on a breakaway at 17:26 of the second period. Kane has 16 points (seven goals, nine assists) in 18 games this season, but just three (one goal, two assists) in his last six games (23 shots). His assist came on the power play; it was his first power-play point in 11 games. Kane hasn't been able to maintain his torrid scoring pace from December, but he continues to be a solid fantasy citizen.

Kane produced an assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Kane snapped a two-game slump with his helper on Robby Fabbri's second goal of the game. In the shootout, Kane added a tally to help the Red Wings snag their third win in the last four games. The winger has cooled off from his late December surge, but he's still produced a solid 14 points with 51 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over 15 appearances since he signed with Detroit in November.

Kane scored two goals on five shots while adding an assist in Friday's 7-6 shootout win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

All three points came in the first period. Kane potted Detroit's first two tallies before helping set up Shayne Gostisbehere just before the first intermission. Kane has reeled off three straight multi-point performances, producing three goals and seven points during that span. After a disappointing 2022-23 campaign split between Chicago and the Rangers, the 35-year-old appears intent on proving he still has a lot left in the tank.
