Honor for Chris Chelios in Patrick Kane's Chicago return is perfect for Detroit Red Wings

Fittingly, Patrick Kane's first memorable interaction with Chris Chelios was one that embodies both players' careers.

The two stars, rooted in the Windy City and celebrated in the Motor City, will be the focal point of Sunday's game between the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks in a matchup of Original Six rivals with a history that dates back nearly a century. The event marks Kane's first appearance at United Center since being traded in 2023, which ended a tenure that spanned 16 seasons and included three Stanley Cup championships.
