Patrick Kane wrapped up the most productive season of his career in April. On Wednesday, he was recognized for it.
Kane won the Hart Trophy for most valuable player at the NHL Awards on Wednesday night, the second U.S.-born player to do so (Billy Burch, born in Yonkers, N.Y., won in 1925). He was also the first Blackhawks player to win the award since Stan Mikita in 1968.
It was busy night for Kane in the awards department. He had already won the Art Ross Trophy as the NHL’s regular-season scoring leader – he was the first American-born player for that award, too.
