Kane is heating up in November after a nine-game absence due to an upper-body injury. Over his last six contests, the veteran winger has a goal and six points.

He can offer a boost in points, power-play production and shots but won't do much else for fantasy managers.

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

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.
