凯恩回家之夜联合中心沸腾 黑鹰4比2力克蓝调 终结开季三连败迎首胜
芝加哥联合中心（United Center）周二晚上演了一场迟到多年的重逢。10月6日，芝加哥黑鹰以4比2击败圣路易斯蓝调，拿下新赛季首胜（战绩1胜3负），而这一夜真正的主角是帕特里克·凯恩（Patrick Kane）——这位37岁的老将在今年7月23日以两年1600万美元（年均800万）合同回归芝加哥，这是他自离开后首次身披黑鹰战袍出战主场揭幕战。
凯恩在黑鹰度过了职业生涯的前16个赛季，随队三夺斯坦利杯，是芝加哥一代球迷的图腾。赛前介绍时，球场播放了致敬视频，20270名观众——超过场馆容量——报以雷鸣般的欢呼。凯恩全场出战20分55秒，贡献2次射门。赛后他坦言这一夜“很特别”：从热身时听到的欢呼，到出场介绍时的情绪翻涌，一切都有些超现实，因为他曾不确定自己是否还有机会再经历这一切。
比赛进程一波三折。蓝调在第一节15分38秒由麦克塔维什先拔头筹；第二节，黑鹰先由林泽尔在5分40秒强打得分扳平，随后列夫舒诺夫穿越防线妙传，弗龙德尔在7分40秒将比分反超为2比1。第三节尾声，科尔·史密斯在少打一人的情况下打入空门，蓝调的麦克迈克尔随即强打追回一球，纳扎尔在19分56秒再入空门锁定4比2。弗龙德尔与纳扎尔各贡献一球一助攻。
唯一的隐忧是黑鹰前锋特拉瓦伊宁在比赛中因伤离场。无论如何，这个夜晚属于凯恩和芝加哥：三连败开局的阴霾，被一场胜利和一次跨越数年的拥抱暂时冲散。

Kane's Homecoming a Success as Blackhawks Hold Off Blues 4-2 for First Win of the Season
CHICAGO — The Chicago Blackhawks made Patrick Kane's homecoming a successful one, defeating the St. Louis Blues 4-2 at the United Center on Tuesday night, October 6, for their first win of the season.
The 37-year-old forward signed a two-year, $16 million contract ($8 million average annual value) on July 23 to return to Chicago, where he played his first 16 NHL seasons and won the Stanley Cup three times. Kane received a raucous ovation from an over-capacity crowd of 20,270 when the Blackhawks honored him with a video tribute during pregame introductions. He logged two shots on goal in 20:55 of ice time, and admitted the night was emotional — from the cheer during warmups to an introduction he once feared he might never experience again. "It's pretty special," Kane said.
On the ice, Anton Frondell and Frank Nazar each had a goal and an assist for Chicago (1-3-0). After Mason McTavish gave St. Louis a 1-0 lead late in the first period, Sam Rinzel tied the game on the power play early in the second and Frondell put the Blackhawks ahead to stay. Cole Smith's shorthanded empty-net goal made it 3-1 late in the third; Connor McMichael answered on the power play for the Blues before Nazar's empty-netter sealed it with four seconds left.
The win was tempered by an injury to Blackhawks forward Teuvo Teravainen, who left the game. But for one night, the result and the reunion shared top billing.
