The Chicago Blackhawks will welcome a familiar face back home on Wednesday night. Patrick Kane will once again play at the United Center.
While nothing will beat the excitement and energy that was Kane’s homecoming last February, tomorrow night’s game will definitely be one to circle on the calendar — get those antennas ready.
If after a month of hockey you were to tell me that Ryan Donato would be leading the Blackhawks in scoring, I would have thought you were crazy.
Yet here we are. Donato is leading the pack with seven goals (three more then the next closest Hawk.) Later today, we will take a deeper look at what has set Donato apart.
