Patrick Kane Is Adjusting to His New Teammates and Coaches in His Return to the Blackhawks
Kane called Bedard funny and said the 19-year-old captaincy decision makes sense as Chicago looks to end its rebuild.
- On Thursday, Patrick Kane joined the Chicago Blackhawks for training camp and publicly backed Connor Bedard's appointment as team captain, saying the decision "makes sense in a lot of ways."
- After signing a $16 million, two-year contract, Kane begins his 20th NHL season back in Chicago, where he will serve as an alternate captain to provide veteran leadership.
- Kane skated on a line with Frank Nazar and Roman Kantserov during camp's first day, with coach Jeff Blashill noting that speed-based centers historically create lanes benefiting Kane's game.
- Bedard will miss the season's start while recovering from left shoulder surgery; once healthy, the Blackhawks intend to pair the young captain alongside Kane on the top line.
- Chicago hopes the additions of Kane and Bo Byram will lift the team into contention in the Western Conference, moving past last season's last-place Central Division finish to secure playoff return.
