Patrick Kane Returns to Chicago, Two-Year Deal

On Thursday, the Chicago Blackhawks agreed to terms with former star forward Patrick Kane on a two-year, $16 million contract that includes a no-move clause. Patrick Kane played the first of his 19 NHL seasons with Chicago, winning the Stanley Cup three times in Chicago in 2010, 2013, and 2015. He has made it to the Stanley Cup Playoffs 11 times in his career, earning 138 points (53 goals, 85 assists) in 143 postseason games. Kane ranks third in franchise history in assists (80), points (132), and games played (136), and ranks fourth in goals (52). Last season with the Detroit Red Wings, the 37-year-old forward had 57 points (16 goals, 41 assists) in 67 games.

However, they didn't do as amazing as they had in the regular season in the playoffs. Tampa Bay won one game through the series, in Game 4 with a 6-3 final.

The Lighting won a total of three Stanley Cup championships: 2004, 2020, and 2021 seasons. They got into the 2023-24 season playoffs with a wild card, and this was the first time they made it into the playoffs without finishing in the top three of their division since 1995-96.

So, since their season was unfortunately put to an end, here is a photo gallery of their Game 4 victory in round one of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Good luck to the Florida Panthers, and hoping for the Lightning to have a better run in the playoffs next season!
