Chicago Blackhawks winger Patrick Kane earned Most Valuable Player honors at the World Championship on Sunday in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Kane, 29, racked up a tournament-leading 20 points during the United States’ bronze-medal run. Team USA defeated Canada 4-1 to win its third bronze since 2013.
Kane’s point total tied Dany Heatley for the most points in any World Championship in the last 40 years. Kane also set a new Team USA record for most points scored in a single World Championship tournament.
The Buffalo, New York native’s 12 assists also tied Canada’s Connor McDavid (Edmonton Oilers) for the tournament-lead, while his eight goals were second to Finland’s Sebastian Aho (Carolina Hurricanes).
