A brilliant overtime goal facilitated the end of the match, as Showtime provided the final touch.
Then, he would come out to show respect to the Blackhawks faithful, receiving applause that was well deserved.

According to Elliotte Friedman of NHL Insider, the Chicago Blackhawks might be open to a reunion with Showtime in the future.
As a result of the Blackhawks fans' amazing reaction, Friedman speculates the team will pursue Kane.
32 Thoughts: Friedman says he's not sure Kane will extend in season and reaffirms that Perron may get extended and has been a great fit. He also gives a disclaimer that he has no info before saying that Kane could go back to Chicago after the tribute last night.#LGRW #RedWings� The Grind Line Podcast� (@GrindLinePod) February 26, 2024
Connor Bedard and Chicago's rebuild has continued another year, and the city may be ready to entice the legend back.
The team is looking to replenish its veteran roster after losing Corey Perry, and Patrick Kane would be a great addition.
It may be time for a reunion if the Detroit Red Wings miss the playoffs and Kane feels right about returning.
This season, the 35-year-old winger has shown he hasn't lost it, as he has played 27 games for the Red Wings, posting 12 goals and 28 points. An impressive statistic for someone returning from surgery.
Patrick Kane debatably is one of the best American players of all time and still an elite talent.
