Patrick Kane scores hat trick as Chicago Blackhawks get first win with 5-1 victory over Ottawa Senators
Patrick Kane had three goals and an assist in his return to the lineup, and the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Ottawa Senators 5-1 on Monday night for their first win of the season.
Kane was sidelined for the previous four games because of the NHL’s COVID-19 protocol, and Chicago sorely missed his unique offensive ability. It lost 1-0 at St. Louis on Saturday night, finishing with 25 shots on goal. Kane’s seventh hat trick in the regular season gave him 408 career goals, moving him ahead of Steve Larmer for third on the franchise list. He also jumped over Denis Savard for third on the Blackhawks’ points list with 1,097.
The Senators lost for the fourth time in five games overall. It was their seventh consecutive loss to the Blackhawks.
