#1 Patrick Kane

Patrick Kane didn’t register on the scoresheet in regulation, but it was his shootout goal that made the difference for the Red Wings on Tuesday night.

The Red Wings will get some time off this week as they gear up to take on the Tampa Bay Lightning at the Little Caesars Arena on Saturday night in a critical Atlantic Division clash.
