'Showtime' Gets a Huge Promotion Tonight as He Plays His First Playoff Game in Years

Tonight marks the playoff debut of the year of not one, but two former Chicago Blackhawks who were traded at the NHL trade deadline. Patrick Kane, a veteran forward and a three-time Stanley Cup champion, will take the ice for his 137th career playoff game with the Buffalo Sabres. However, Kane is not alone in making his playoff debut with a new team.

Jake McCabe, a former Blackhawks defenseman, will also make his first postseason appearance tonight with the Toronto Maple Leafs. McCabe was acquired by the Leafs at the trade deadline and has been a valuable addition to their blue line ever since.

Both Kane and McCabe will bring their experience and skill to their respective teams as they aim to make a deep playoff run. It will be interesting to see how they perform in their new threads and how they adapt to their new playoff environments.

Kaner got a promotion to the first line alongside his best friend Artemi Panarin:
