"Lucky he had that bubble on": Patrick Kane's quirky response to Connor Bedard's hit
Patrick Kane gave a quirky response to Connor Bedard's hit during Sunday's matchup between the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks.
Kane, who played for 16 seasons for the Hawks, made his return to the United Center. In the third period, Bedard delivered a hefty hit on Kane as he pinned him near the glass.
In a post-game interview, Kane jokingly said:
"He's good. He's a great player, very creative. Got a little physical on me in the other corner there. So, he's lucky he had the bubble on, or I was going after him."
The Detroit Red Wings won the game 3-2, with Patrick Kane scoring on a breakaway at 1:42 in overtime to seal their fifth consecutive victory. The 35-year-old veteran has racked up 28 points through 12 goals and 16 assists in 27 games this season.
Patrick Kane's return spoils Blackhawks' celebratory night
The Hawks held a pregame celebration for Chris Chelios, who became the ninth player from the franchise to have his jersey retired.
However, the spotlight was snapped by Kane's return as the Red Wings beat the hosts 3-2 in overtime.
At 19:19 of the first period, Daniel Sprong gave the visitors a 1-0 lead after converting a return pass from Christian Fischer into the left circle into the back of the Hawks' net.
MacKenzie Entwistle tied it for the hosts at 3:29 of the second period. Reese Johnson passed a rebound off his own shot to Entwistle, who then slotted the puck for an empty netter.
With less than three minutes remaining, Nick Foligno made it 2-1 for the Hawks after scoring off Connor Bedard's deflected shot from the top of the left circle. 15:44 into the third period, Alex DeBrincat tied it for the Red Wings, forcing overtime.
1:42 into overtime, Kane, while on a breakaway, scored for the Detroit Red Wings to clinch a fifth straight victory. Kane also scored the overtime winner for the Red Wings in their 2-1 win over the Colorado Avalanche last week.
