Duncan Keith will make his preseason debut when the Chicago Blackhawks host the Detroit Red Wings at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at the United Center in Chicago.
Keith, 33, missed the first four Hawks preseason game while going through additional rehabilitation for his right knee. The two-time Norris Trophy winner had surgery Oct. 20, 2015 to repair a meniscus tear in his right knee that he suffered during the 2015 Stanley Cup Final against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Keith had nine goals and 34 assists in 67 games last season. He added three goals and two assists in six playoff games.
