Kane's Return: Still Strange in Visiting Room
14 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Patrick Kane finds the visiting locker room at United Center unusual.
- Kane is three goals away from 500 career NHL goals.
- He is also 10 points shy of Mike Modano's U.S. scoring record.
Patrick Kane finds it "a little different" to use the visiting dressing room at Chicago's United Center, a venue where he spent the majority of his illustrious NHL career. While he has returned with the Detroit Red Wings, the familiar surroundings still evoke a sense of strangeness.
Kane is approaching two major personal achievements. He is just three goals shy of reaching the 500-goal mark and is only 10 points away from surpassing Mike Modano's record for the most points by a U.S.-born player in NHL history.
During his previous return in February 2024, Kane was celebrated with a video tribute and a standing ovation before scoring the overtime winner. He has since signed one-year extensions, committing him to the Red Wings through the 2025-2026 season.
