Rangers Fans Erupt When Patrick Kane Scores First at MSG

Vintage Patrick Kane. Pinpoint accuracy to go five-hole on Darcy Kuemper, show-time style to give his team a 3-1 lead.

I think Rangers fans are going to like this fellow. Just a hunch.

The New York Rangers forward went pointless with a -4 rating in his first two games with his new team. Since then, Patrick Kane is piping hot.

In his last four games, the 3x Stanley Cup champ has 3g-2a (with a period still to play vs. Washington - will edit accordingly), which is bad news for the other seven playoff teams in the East.

That's not a guy you want to play against when he's hot. In 136 playoff games, Kane has scored 132 points (52g-80a). When scoring is at its most difficult, that is when Kane plays some of his best hockey.
