Patrick Kane seems to be really excited to get back on the ice and represent his country, and with good reason. He had a ton of success in his first go-around as captain of Team USA in the 2018 IIHF Men’s World Championship. In 10 games, he racked up 20 points (8G, 12A) with a -2 ± rating. In addition to the offensive explosion, Kane also brought home an MVP award and a bronze medal.
