Down 2-1 in their first-round series against rival St. Louis, Patrick Kane did what he usually does for the Blackhawks: score big-time goals.

Did I mention he also scored the series-ending goal against the Minnesota Wild in Game 6 of the next round too AND the game-winning goal against the Los Angeles Kings in Game 6 of that series?
