Before “New York Rangers » Patrick Kane expressed confidence that he would find mutual understanding on the ice with the Russian striker Artemi Panarin .
Earlier in March, Kane, a three-time Stanley Cup winner, was traded from Chicago to the Rangers. On Thursday, the striker made his debut for a new team in a match against Ottawa (3:5).
– You try to remember your routes, but that’s the “chemistry” we had six or seven years ago. I don’t think it will happen overnight, but we will find it, — quotes the words of Kane, the official website of the NHL.
Panarin and Kane previously played together for Chicago, in the 2015/16 season the Russian received the best newcomer award, and the American was recognized as the most valuable player of the season.
Kane’s parents did not attend Thursday’s game as his sister gave birth.
The fans received me in an incredible way. Just coming out for the warm-up, getting to know each other before the game, the first game for Rangers, that was pretty cool. It would be nice if my family was also here with me, but in the future they will go to many games.
We have four days between games, so it will be great to have a few practices and understand how the team plans to consistently play with the puck, operate in the offensive zone. It would be nice to settle in and play a bit better for my teammates,” added the 34-year-old striker.
