Former Chicago Blackhawks legend and Stanley Cup champion Patrick Kane has kept his foot on the gas during the latter part of his NHL career.
Forward Patrick Kane is known for his legendary play in the Blackhawks uniform.
He helped deliver three Stanley Cups to the Blackhawks and would be traded in 2023 to help usher in the rebuild we're seeing in action now.
He's found himself playing for the New York Rangers forthe 2024-25 season and this year with the Detroit Red Wings.
While you'd assume the 36-year-old would be toning it down a notch during the twilight years of his career, he's done nothing of the sort.
In the last 4 games with the Red Wings, he's scored 5 points (2-3), which included a 3-point night against the Toronto Maple Leafs on October 11th.
He also carried the Red Wings to a dominant 4-1 win against the defending Stanley Cup Champions on Wednesday.
He and his teammates, the Red Wings, have a purpose to play for this season: "Progress" is the goal, according to Steve Yzerman.
While we truly know that Captain Dylan Larkin wants a playoff run.
Former Chicago Blackhawks Forward Patrick Kane is All Gas, No Brakes
Last season with the Detroit Red Wings, he joined a legendary list of American-born players, including Mike Modano.
His 21-goal, 59-point season made him the new record holder for most 20-goal seasons for a U.S.-born player in the NHL, with a total of 17.
The new milestone accomplished last season is proof that "Showtime" is alive and well in Detroit, as he remains a part of the Red Wings' top-six forward unit.
General Manager Steve Yzerman is putting his money on the fact that the Original Six team can find themselves back in the playoffs with his help this year.
