Player to watch: Patrick Kane, Blackhawks

The Blackhawks star, who many eons ago made his NHL debut in St. Paul, returns to Xcel Energy Center for the first time since he eliminated the Wild last postseason in overtime of Game 6. Brent Seabrook's dump-in hit a stanchion, the puck ricocheted in front and Kane buried it.
