Is Patrick Kane playing tonight against the Washington Capitals? | March 14th, 2023 | 2022-23 NHL season

New York Rangers star forward Patrick Kane is all set to take on the Washington Capitals tonight at Madison Square Garden in a highly anticipated matchup between the two top teams. After a rocky start with his new team, Kane has found his stride and has been instrumental in helping the Rangers win their game against the Montreal Canadiens on March 9.

Against the Habs, Patrick Kane scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist, with his goal late in the second period tying the game at 3-3. This marked his first goal for the Rangers and showed just how dangerous he can be when he is in form.

Patrick Kane had a bumpy start to his new team, failing to register a point and posting a minus-4 rating in his first two games with the Rangers. However, he appears to have found his footing and has been skating on the line with Artemi Panarin and Vincent Trocheck, two other highly skilled players who have helped him get back on track.

Fans can look forward to seeing Kane and the Rangers take on the Capitals tonight in what promises to be a thrilling matchup. With both teams playing at a high level, it will be interesting to see how Kane and his teammates fare against a tough opponent.

Patrick Kane had a special visitor in his debut at MSG

Ice hockey is a sport that has always had a strong following, with fans from all walks of life drawn to the speed, skill, and physicality of the game. One such fan is none other than Hollywood actor Liam Neeson, who was recently spotted in the stands at Madison Square Garden during a New York Rangers game against the Ottawa Senators.

Neeson's presence at the game was a welcome surprise for Rangers fans, who were already excited to see star forward Patrick Kane make his debut for the team. As Neeson was shown on the big screen, fans erupted in cheers, thrilled to see the acclaimed actor in attendance.

It's no secret that Neeson is a huge fan of ice hockey, and in particular, the New York Rangers. In a 2018 interview with MSG Network, the Northern Irish actor revealed that it was his son who first introduced him to the game and the New York Rangers.

"It has to be said, [Madison Square Garden] is one of the iconic spaces for sports, concerts, for circuses in the world and when I come here I always feel part of a community.

He also said,

"It is interesting coming from Ireland and Europe where we have trouble organising sporting events. But you come to Madison Square Garden in the centre of a city...it's fantastic."
