Blackhawks’ Patrick Kane to compete in puck control relay at NHL All-Star skills competition

Chicago Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane will compete in the puck control relay in the NHL All-Star skills competition Saturday at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.

Kane, 29, leads Chicago in all three scoring categories with 20 goals, 29 assists and 49 points in 49 games this season. He is the Hawks lone All-Star representative.

The puck control relay features three different obstacles for players to navigate through.

The first is stick-handling, where a player controls a puck through a series of eight pucks in a straight line. After completing this stage, a player will navigate through a series of eight cones in a zig-zag formation then finish the event by guiding the puck through a gate.
