Report: Patrick Kane expected to be ready for Game 1

The Chicago Blackhawks may be getting back their biggest weapon in time for the playoffs.

According to a report, Patrick Kane could be cleared to practice as early in Monday and might be probable for the team’s first-round playoff series against the Nashville Predators.

Kane has been out since breaking his collarbone after being checked into the boards in late February. Kane’s return would be a huge boost to the team and will come at a critical time as they enter the postseason having lost four in a row.
