As far as post-hip resurfacing surgery season debuts go, Patrick Kane looked fit enough in Detroit on Thursday. Skating 16:33 on a line with former Chicago teammate Alex DeBrincat, he moved well and fired three shots on net, including a near-goal that just caught the post.

Still, a solid first outing, all considered. Which merits mentioning since Kane remains available in 30% of ESPN.com leagues as of Friday morning. Barring a health setback, that won’t be the case for the dynamic winger for long. The Red Wings host the Senators on Saturday.

Otherwise, every team plays at least once over the weekend, when we’re treated to a three-game slate Friday, 12 contests on Saturday, and a lively Sunday card featuring eight matchups. Fantasy managers might pay extra attention to the Devils’ tour through Alberta, where we could see a good numbers of goals from both sides in Calgary Saturday and then Edmonton on Sunday.

Elsewhere, Florida – including No. 1 Sergei Bobrovsky – faces a friendly enough schedule, hosting the Penguins before travelling to Columbus on Sunday. Ensure your favorite skaters from Nashville and St. Louis are active, as the Predators touch down in Toronto and Montreal over the weekend, while the Blues visit Columbus and Chicago, respectively Friday and Saturday. It’s worth noting the Blue Jackets are playing their second in as many nights when welcoming St. Louis, after getting pumped 7-3 by the Islanders on the road…
