Before The Puck Drops Tonight

from Dana Wakiji of the Wings website,

The Chicago Blackhawks come to town as one of the hottest teams in the league, having won nine of their last 11 games.

One of the main drivers of their run is Patrick Kane, who is in the midst of an 18-game point streak, the longest by any player this season.

Kane, 30, has 14 goals and 26 assists in that span.

"He's a dynamic player," Wings center Dylan Larkin said. "If he's not the best, he's top-two ever American-born players. I grew up watching him a lot and have a lot of respect for him.
