He hurt his left ankle in a Dec. 5 game against Calgary when he fell awkwardly against the boards.
Kane said after practice Monday that he was ready to return to action and Coach Joel Quenneville agreed.
The Blackhawks will be without forward Fernando Pisani, however, due to illness. Pisani has five goals and five assists.
