Patrick Kane, who made his successful return from major offseason surgery with the 2023-24 Detroit Red Wings, is returning to the Motor City.
The winger agreed to a one-year contract to return to the Red Wings in free agency, John Wawrow and Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reported Saturday.
After missing the first several months of last season while recovering from June hip resurfacing surgery, Kane signed a one-year deal with the Red Wings in November before making his Dec. 7 return to the NHL.
He went on to record 20 goals and 27 assists for 47 points in 50 games to help Detroit come within one point of making the playoffs.
