Although the game didn't go the Blackhawks way, losing by a score of 4-1 to the Detroit Red Wings, there always seems to be a bit of nostalgia when he comes back.
This marked Kane's second game back since joining the Detroit Red Wings. In addition to that, Kane had a respectable performance on the ice, posting a +2 rating, increasing his win total to 2-0 when playing his former team.
Despite the loss, Patrick is seen after the game taking a mini victory lap, soaking in the scenery after a big win, saluting the crowd that once embraced him as a superstar.
The three time Stanley Cup champion was also noticed after the game, carrying his son, Patrick Jr. These reports surfaced from Charlie Roumeliotis on instagram, who indicates that Kane also spent some time in the bleachers, catching up with some family.
As previously stated, the Chicago Blackhawks were dealt a disappointing loss, but it's still great to see that Patrick Kane's heart still resides with the city of Chicago.
The team was riding a two game win streak, and the expectations were high coming into last night's matchup, but they ultimately fell short by a significant margin.
On a side note, yesterday also marked the highly anticipated return of Alex DeBrincat, who was reunited with his former teammate after being traded from the Ottawa Senators.
The Chicago Blackhawks will look for a major bounce-back tonight when they take on a formidable Dallas Stars team.
