It must be old hat to Chicago Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane, winning weekly/monthly awards from the NHL. But as fans, we certainly don’t mind seeing Kane and others receive additional mention. After all, that probably means the team is faring well.
That is the case this week, as Kane is the NHL’s first star of the week and the Blackhawks are on a five-game winning streak. Kane was recognized Monday alongside Philadelphia goaltender Brian Elliott and New York Islanders forward Josh Bailey.
Kane tallied five points last week, including four goals. Two of his tallies were game-winners, against Florida in overtime and against Minnesota.
