Longtime Chicago Blackhawks star Patrick Kane will be wearing a new uniform for the first time in his decorated NHL career Thursday when the New York Rangers host the Ottawa Senators.
The Rangers acquired Kane and Cooper Zech from Chicago in exchange for Andy Welinski, a conditional 2023 second-round pick and a 2025 fourth-round pick. The Arizona Coyotes were also involved in the deal, acquiring a 2025 conditional third-round pick from New York.
A three-time Stanley Cup champion, Kane has recorded 1,225 points (446 goals, 779 assists) in 1,161 career games since being selected by the Blackhawks with the first overall pick in the 2007 NHL Draft.
