Patrick Kane's hip surgery controversy finally shines through
Patrick Kane is back, as we've seen him on ice with the Detroit Red Wings, back to his old style of play.
The old game-breaker has flourished since his hip surgery, arriving to the team with a point-per-game pace, along with being paired with some of the best wingers in the league with Dylan Larkin and Alex DeBrincat.
Kane has played 37 games this season and has put up 35 points (14G, 21A) with the Detroit Red Wings, as they are vying for a playoff spot this year.

As Jfresh's models show, Kaner is back as he is back being the playmaker, that he always was. Also, his passing skills are as immaculate as ever.
Since Kane's surgery, he has been nothing short of a revelation for the Wings offense.
The hip surgery has done wonders for Patrick Kane, who is generating chances at an excellent rate (including his own), back to his high-danger passing and model-breaking ways, and playing with patience in the offensive zone that's translating to better defensive metrics. #LGRW pic.twitter.com/gqi1n7p4nN� JFresh (@JFreshHockey) March 18, 2024
This should make Yzerman look like nothing less than a genius, as the buy-in on Kane was a small piece of the salary cap and the team is doing nothing but benefitting from having Kane back to form.
In the last ten games, Kane has 2 goals and 5 assists for 7 points, with an average of 18:76 TOI.
Showtime is back.
