The night was a special one for Kane as The Blackhawks-Red Wings game was the first game Kane played as a visitor at the United Center. The night became even more special as the Detroit Red Wings defeated the Blackhawks 3-2. Before the game, Kane shared some kind words about Bedard.
“He’s been amazing,” Kane said. “He’s been great. We talk about the fans and the city and how it’s such a great sports town, he’s in a great spot for that. I think the fans deserve another long run of a great hockey player and hopefully great teams behind him. But I think it’s a great way to kind of start the rebuild and to start with a player like that definitely accelerates it a little bit.
“He’s been special, I’m sure you guys see covering him every night. He’s worth the price of admission. He does special things. He’s going to be a great player for a long time.”
