Alex Debrincat is excited to play with Patrick Kane again as they did in the past
Alex DeBrincat awaited this summer to see if his longtime linemate, Patrick Kane, would return to the Detroit Red Wings.
As a close friend and former Chicago Blackhawks teammate, DeBrincat felt a personal connection to Kane's decision. Luckily for both DeBrincat and the Red Wings, Kane signed a one-year deal to stay in Detroit, a move that reflects Kane's belief in the team's playoff potential and strengthens the bond between these two dynamic forwards.
"We were talking most of the summer," DeBrincat shared. "He loved the fans and loved being a Red Wing. So, him coming back was huge for our team, and obviously, it's great for me and him."
Last season, Kane and DeBrincat rekindled their chemistry from their Chicago days, becoming one of Detroit's most productive offensive duos. DeBrincat credits Kane for not only his on-ice contributions but also for mentoring him throughout his career.
"He creates so much, and I try to take what I can from his game," DeBrincat said.
Kane's impact extends beyond his skill. His leadership in the locker room has earned him respect from teammates, including Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin, who emphasized how much Kane's voice means to the team.
As DeBrincat looks forward to another season alongside Kane, it's clear that "Showtime" isn't just about goals-it's about legacy, mentorship, and the shared journey these two stars have taken from Chicago to Detroit.
