Patrick Kane leaves with injury, out day-to-day for Blackhawks

Day to day. Fantasy hockey: Kane left Monday's game against Colorado in the second period and cannot play while sidelined, wiping out his four-game week.

Patrick Kane left the bench near the end of the second period Monday against the Colorado Avalanche and missed the third period. The Blackhawks listed him as day-to-day and did not specify the injury. He played 10:20 without a point before exiting.

Kane cannot play while sidelined, and his four-game week (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday) goes to zero for as long as he is out. His 3:10 a night on the first power-play unit opens up for a teammate, with Patrick Maroon and Ryan Donato the names to watch for those minutes.

Patrick Kane

Kane's recent averages with the Detroit Red Wings before joining the Blackhawks were 0.86 points a night (0.28 goals, 0.58 assists), 2.5 shots and 0.32 power-play points across 184 games, playing 17:42 a night with 3:10 on the power play. His underlying play graded 76 out of 100 among forwards in shots, scoring chances and ice time, a read on how sustainable his scoring was. Those numbers describe his role in Detroit, not his current share or rank in Chicago.

The injury wipes out his four remaining games this week and puts his roster value on hold until he returns. His power-play time is the first priority for Patrick Maroon and Ryan Donato while he is sidelined. Do not add or start Kane until the Blackhawks clear him to play.

What to do

• Bench Patrick Kane until the Blackhawks clear him to return.

• Watch for Patrick Maroon and Ryan Donato to take Kane's power-play minutes while he is out.

• Do not count on Kane's four games this week until he is back in the lineup.
