The signing of unrestricted free agent forward Patrick Kane on a one-year, $2.75 million contract created a significant impact for the Detroit Red Wings. While only six games have been played, the team's and Kane's performances have marked a notably sluggish beginning.
The Red Wings have tallied a 1-4-1 record since Kane joined the team, during which Kane has posted a -7 rating with one goal and one assist in six games, but no points in 5v5 situations.
