Detroit Red Wings head coach Todd McLellan announced the team's latest decision involving star Patrick Kane, handing bad news to Dylan Larkin and the rest of the locker room.

The Detroit Red Wings will be without Patrick Kane when they welcome the Montreal Canadiens to Little Caesars Arena on Thursday night.

Detroit Red Wings right wing Patrick Kane (upper body) will miss Thursday's Original Six matchup against the Montreal Canadiens. The 2016 Hart Trophy winner will miss at least one game due to an upper-body injury.

Patrick Kane is dealing with an upper body injury, and the Detroit Red Wings hope Vladimir Tarasenko can ameliorate that loss.

The Red Wings are struggling for offense these days and the team didn't get news Thursday that'll necessarily help that matter.

Detroit Red Wings star Patrick Kane didn't mince words when addressing the team's performance during the awful 5-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Kane and Bedard's careers started off in a remarkably similar way, but there is one big difference that makes them seem worlds apart.

Kane (undisclosed) will not be in the lineup versus Montreal on Thursday, per Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site. Coach Todd McLellan said that Kane is day-to-day at this time. The 36-year-old was red-hot as he had 16 points in 10 games before he was held off the scoresheet in his last two games.

Patrick Kane and the Red Wings won again on Thursday night, securing a 5-2 victory over the defending Stanley Cup champion Panthers.

DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings need an offensive spark tonight against Montreal in the start of a key three-game homestand. It won’t come from Patrick Kane, who’s out with an upper-body injury. Others must step up. The team needs to generate more than the one goal a game it’s produced during a three-game skid (0-2-1).

With a three-point effort Friday, Kane now has 11 points during the Red Wings' current six-game winning streak.

He’s been rejuvenated since Todd McLellan took over as Detroit Red Wings coach and on Monday was named the NHL’s third star of the week after collecting six points (two goals, four assists) in three games. It’s the first time this season a Red Wing has been among the league’s weekly three stars.
