Since being traded Kane has had a tough time adjusting to the new system the Rangers use and hasn't been able to find his groove. He started out on the second line with former line mate Panarin, but coach Gerard Gallent has since broke that line up, and has been shuffling lines around to try and get the best production out of everyone. During the game against the Penguins, Kane started the game on the third line, but during the game would be shuffled around on multiple lines.
