Chicago Blackhawks star right winger Patrick Kane has left the team in California to return to Chicago, the team announced Saturday.

With the NHL trade deadline less than a week away, Kane has been rumored to leave the Blackhawks with the idea that the New York Rangers could land his services.

Arizona Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun will be a healthy scratch for the remainder of this week as trade talks continue, the team announced Monday.

Coach Andre Tourigny informed the media after the Coyotes' morning skate in Nashville that Chychrun will remain out of the lineup. He was scratched for their 6-5 loss to the St. Louis Blues on Saturday for what the team called "trade-related reasons."

Blackhawks star Patrick Kane said he has had discussions with his agent about teams interested in trading for him but has yet to decide whether he'll waive his no-movement clause before the NHL trade deadline.

Kane, 34, is in the final season of an eight-year contract that carries a $10.5 million salary-cap hit. With the Blackhawks in a rebuild, there has been speculation this could be his last season in Chicago, a notion Kane hasn't dispelled.

On Monday, Kane admitted he has thought about what playing for another NHL team might be like.
