Patrick Kane didn’t score a goal in the last 13 games before the Olympic break.
Kane hasn’t been right since his first injury this year. But let’s be honest, he’s also been saddled with Copp as his center. Trocheck. Trocheck. Trocheck. He’d not only provide Kane and Cat with a legitimate 2nd-line center, he’d be a quality faceoff man and penalty killer. Make it happen, Yzerman. Please.
