Prior to the NHL trade deadline, the New York Rangers made a big impact by acquiring star winger Patrick Kane from the Chicago Blackhawks. Fans will not have to wait much longer to see Kane in action with his new team, as the 34-year-old will take the ice for the Rangers against the Ottawa Senators on Thursday night. With the Blackhawks, Kane has had a successful season, scoring 45 points in 54 games. Before making his Rangers debut, Kane seems to need some time to get used to his new environment, though.
A four-game point run that started with a two-goal performance against the Senators will be carried by the 34-year-old player into the game. Moreover, he recorded two goals and an assist against the Dallas Stars, one against the Vegas Golden Knights, and three goals and an assist against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Kane missed the two games before the deal, thus he hasn’t played since February 22. In 54 games thus far this season, he has 16 goals and 29 assists.
The Senators are coming into this game on a three-game winning streak, which includes two consecutive six-goal games against the Detroit Red Wings. The Senators defeated the Red Wings 6-1 and 6-2 in back-to-back games on home ice on Monday and Tuesday after upsetting the Montreal Canadiens 5-2 on Saturday. In 20 games against the Senators in his career, Kane has 12 goals and 21 assists.
