Kane is beginning to make a case for the next international competition next year, the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy.

Patrick Kane scored his second goal of the game on a breakaway with a minute left in overtime and the Detroit Red Wings beat Anaheim 5-4 to end the Ducks’ four-game winning streak.

The Red Wings made the decision to remove a teammate of Patrick Kane from the roster and send him directly to the Anaheim Ducks in a trade that did not raise criticism and can be considered a relief for the team.
