Kane, who suffered a broken clavicle on Feb. 24, is making good progress, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Analysis:

Original estimates suggested that Kane wouldn't return before mid-May, assuming the Hawks were still in the playoffs at that time, but Monday's report suggests that there's a chance that the forward's timetable on that front could be altered favorably. "There's been some excellent progress," coach Joel Quenneville said Monday of Kane. "It could be good news. We'll see."
