Despite a 5-3 home loss to the Ottawa Senators, future Hall of Fame winger Patrick Kane largely enjoyed his New York Rangers debut Thursday night.
Speaking to reporters after the game, Kane said: "My first game as a Ranger was a pretty cool experience. Obviously, I would've liked to play a little bit better and come out with the win. But hopefully it'll come. I haven't played in a little bit. Maybe a little bit rusty."
Kane, 34, was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2007 NHL draft and had spent his entire 16-year NHL career with the Chicago Blackhawks before getting sent to the Rangers this week as part of a three-team trade that also included the Arizona Coyotes.
