The Detroit Red Wings are already playing playoff-quality hockey and could get another lift Wednesday with Patrick Kane (lower body injury) returning for their next game against the Ottawa Senators.

That was Derek Lalonde’s update the Red Wings downed the Vegas Golden Knights 5-2 to raise their record to 9-2-1 in January.

“Patrick has had some positive days here,” Lalonde said. “There is a possibility for Wednesday. That’s something we’ll re-evaluate through two practices Monday and Tuesday.”

Kane hasn’t played since Dec. 14 when he was injured during the Red Wings’ win against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The Red Wings have been scoring and winning without Patrick Kane, but his value to the team is undeniable. Nobody is better at entering the zone with the puck and controlling the puck in the offensive zone. He passing is another ‘wow’ factor.

Red Wings Next Game

The Detroit squad will have two days of practice (Monday and Tuesday) before playing the Ottawa Senators at Little Caesars Arena.
