Analysis:

With the team's worst nightmare now confirmed, Chicago may look to make a move to add another winger to help compensate for the loss of Kane. Assuming the 12-week timetable holds up, Kane -- who will miss the remainder of the regular season -- could be ready to return during the third round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, if the Blackhawks make it that far.
