Former Chicago Blackhawk Patrick Kane underwent hip resurfacing surgery Thursday and is expected to miss four to six months before being allowed back on the ice.
Agent Pat Brisson confirmed Kane’s operation in a text message to the Associated Press. The extended absence appears to rule out Kane for an NHL training camp but means he might be able to return early in the regular season.Kane, 34, has been dealing with a nagging hip injury that hampered him over the past year with the Chicago Blackhawks and then down the stretch and in the playoffs with the New York Rangers.
Kane might get that chance if the surgery allows him to return to his previous form. Second only to Mike Modano in scoring among U.S.-born players with 1,237 points, Kane was one of the centerpieces of the Blackhawks’ Stanley Cup-winning teams in 2010, ‘13 and ‘15 and won the Hart Trophy as league MVP in 2016.
