Duncan Keith: Retiring from hockey
Keith is going to retire from hockey, reports Pierre LeBrun of TSN.
The 38-year-old Keith has had a likely Hall of Fame career, putting up 106 goals and 646 points in 1,256 games with the Blackhawks and just a single season with the Oilers. He earned the Norris trophy twice and the Conn Smythe once, and Keith hoisted the Stanley Cup three times in Chicago. There's term left on his deal, and due to the cap recapture mechanism, the Blackhawks will be on the hook for a $5.5 million penalty this season and $1.9 million next season.

Oilers' Duncan Keith: Three-point burst Friday
Keith scored a goal on two shots and added a pair of assists in Friday's 5-3 win over the Flames in Game 2.
Keith sparked the Oilers' comeback push with a first-period tally. He also set up Connor McDavid and Evan Bouchard (on the power play) in the second period as the visitors pulled even at 3-3. Prior to Friday, Keith had one point in eight playoff games, so this level of production shouldn't be expected regularly. The 38-year-old has added 13 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in a top-four role.

Keith posted a power-play assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Kings in Game 1.
Keith ended the regular season on a four-game point drought, but that ended when he set up Kailer Yamamoto's second-period tally. The 38-year-old Keith is expected to play a top-four role in the postseason while adding a wealth of playoff experience. Prior to this year, the defenseman has amassed 86 points in 135 playoff contests while lifting the Stanley Cup three times as a member of the Blackhawks.

Oilers' Duncan Keith: Hands out helper
Keith produced an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Friday's 6-3 win over the Avalanche.
Keith has picked up assists in each of the last two games. He also had to take on 21:34 of ice time, his highest total since March 9, when Darnell Nurse (lower body) exited the game. Keith is up to 21 points, 78 shots, 100 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating through 60 contests, but he's mainly seen a second-pairing role for much of the season. With Nurse's status unclear for Sunday in Columbus, the 38-year-old Keith could be asked to play a larger role in the near term.

Keith served two assists in a 7-5 win over the Red Wings on Tuesday.
Keith had not added a point since returning from the injured reserve (upper body) on March 1 against Philadelphia. The veteran defenseman has never been much for goal-scoring, but still is viable when it comes to assists, with 15 helpers in 42 games this season.

Oilers' Duncan Keith: Might play Tuesday
Keith (upper body) could be an option against the Flyers on Tuesday, Jason Gregor of OilersNation.com reports.
Keith last was in action Feb. 9 versus the Blackhawks due to his upper-body injury that cost him the last nine contests. While the veteran defenseman has managed just one goal in 35 games this year, he has chipped in 13 helpers and could offer decent mid-range fantasy value once given the all-clear.

Oilers' Duncan Keith: Placed on injured reserve
Keith (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.
Keith is in the concussion protocol and dealing with additional upper-body soreness after a hard impact with the boards Wednesday. He's already expected to miss at least two weeks, so his placement on IR won't change his recovery timeline. Markus Niemelainen and Philip Broberg will compete for a third-pairing spot while Keith is out.

Oilers' Duncan Keith: Injured Wednesday
Keith (upper body) was injured in the first period of Wednesday's game versus the Blackhawks, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.
Keith crashed hard into the boards in the first period, and he needed help getting off the ice. The defenseman appeared to hit his head or shoulder during the incident. That likely leaves the 38-year-old as questionable at best for Friday's game versus the Islanders. The Oilers should update his status prior to that contest.
