Red Wings' Patrick Kane: Big three-point effort in win
Rotowire
Kane had a goal and two assists Saturday in a 6-3 victory over the Maple Leafs.
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 has three goals and seven points over his last seven outings. The 36-year-old winger got to the 20-goal mark Friday, reaching that level for the 17th time in his 18-year career, with the lone exception being the shortened 2020-21 campaign. Kane is at 53 points, 157 shots on net and a minus-14 rating over 65 appearances this season. He's not the point-per-game superstar he once was, but he's still a strong power-play producer -- that's where he's earned 27 of his points this season, including 12 of his goals.

Red Wings' Patrick Kane: Five points in last four games
Rotowire
Kane scored a power-play goal Thursday in a 4-3 loss to Ottawa.
He tapped in Alex DeBrincat's cross-crease pass on Detroit's sixth power-play opportunity. Kane has five points, including two power-play goals, over his last four games. Overall, he has 51 points (19 goals, 32 assists) across 62 games, and 26 of those have come on the power play. Fantasy managers need to enjoy the ride right now. Kane has generated 50.9 percent of his output on the power play, and it's unlikely that he'll reproduce that level of efficiency in future seasons.

Kane has three goals and six helpers over his last five games, including this three-point outing and a five-point explosion versus the Sabres on March 12.

Red Wings' Patrick Kane: Serves apple in win
Rotowire
Kane provided an assist, registered four shots on goal and blocked two shots in Sunday's 3-0 shutout win over Vegas.
Kane's helper was on Detroit's final goal of the game to help the team get back on track in the Atlantic Division. The 36-year-old winger has 29 assists, 46 points and 138 shots on goal in 57 appearances this season. Kane has found another gear offensively in March with 11 points in his last eight contests. He is already one point away from equaling his total from a year ago and 11 points from his 2022-23 total. Kane holds decent fantasy value in all formats and should see plenty of minutes for Detroit down the stretch as they attempt to make the postseason.

Red Wings' Patrick Kane: Erupts for five points Wednesday
Rotowire
Kane scored two power-play goals and added three even-strength assists in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Sabres.
It was Kane's best performance in two seasons with the Red Wings, as he had a hand in the team's first three goals of the night before picking up two more points in the third period. The 36-year-old winger has turned back the clock since the 4 Nations Face-Off, producing at least three points in three of the last 10 games while amassing five goals and 14 points, including seven points (three goals, four helpers) with the man advantage.

Rotowire
Kane scored a goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Blue Jackets.
The veteran winger racked up his second three-point performance in the last four games, although he was held off the scoresheet in the other two contests. Kane's power-play point was his 20th of the season (eight goals, 12 helpers), marking the 14th time in his career he's reached that mark.

Red Wings' Patrick Kane: Plays hero in OT
Rotowire
Kane netted two goals, including the game-winning tally, and added an assist in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over Anaheim.
Kane erupted for two power-play points in the first period, including a goal just over five minutes into the contest. He then went five-hole to get the puck past Anaheim's Lukas Dostal to send the Red Wings home with a win. The 18-year vet is up to 14 goals, 21 assists and 106 shots on net in 47 appearances this season. Sunday's outing shows the 36-year-old winger still has relevant value in fantasy and should continue to see high usage for Detroit for the rest of the season. Kane still sees plenty of power-play time and can be a strong fantasy asset in leagues that value offensive production and shot volume.

Red Wings' Patrick Kane: First goal since return from injury
Rotowire
Kane scored a power-play goal in a 6-3 loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday.
He one-timed an Alex DeBrincat pass across the slot past Andrei Vasilevskiy to pull the Wings to within two in the first period. It was Kane's first goal and point in three games since his return from an upper-body injury. Kane is on pace to deliver more than 50 points this season, with about half on the power play. There's value in that profile, even if he's a risk for injury and a plus-minus liability (minus-11).

Rotowire
Kane (upper body) isn't expected to be available for Thursday's road game against Edmonton, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
Kane didn't participate in power-play reps during Wednesday's practice session and will likely be unavailable for a fourth consecutive game Thursday. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but he's still considered day-to-day despite being on injured reserve, and he's eligible to return whenever he's cleared by the team's medical staff. However, the Red Wings should get a boost against the Oilers since Vladimir Tarasenko (illness) is expected to return.

Red Wings' Patrick Kane: Shifted to IR
Rotowire
Kane (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday.
Kane remains day-to-day according to the Wings, so his placement won't impact his return date, especially since he was already ruled out against the Kings on Monday. It does free up a roster spot to bring a forward up from AHL Grand Rapids, a move that would seem to indicate that Vladimir Tarasenko (illness) won't be healthy enough to play.
