GAME THREAD: GAME THREAD: NHL: DETROIT (1-0) at CHICAGO (0-1)

CHICAGO (Ticker) -- Patrick Kane already has made an impactwith the Chicago Blackhawks.


Kane scored the lone goal in the shootout after defenseman JamesWisniewski and Robert Lang tallied in the third period as theBlackhawks posted a 4-3 victory over the Detroit Red Wings onSaturday.


Drafted first overall in June, the 18-year-old did not record apoint in his NHL debut as Chicago was blanked by Minnesota onThursday. The 5-10 native of Buffalo picked up an assist inthis one, but his biggest contribution will not show up in hisregular statistics.


After Pavel Datsyuk hit the right goalpost on Detroit's firstshootout attempt, Kane was elected to try his luck for Chicago.He made coach Denis Savard look like a genius, beating six-timeVezina Trophy winner Dominik Hasek to the glove side with abackhander for a 1-0 edge in the bonus format.


"I had been practicing that in practice," Kane said. "I usuallyhit the crossbar. Unbelievably, it went in. I was thinkingabout who was in the net, but I was thinking more about myshot."


Kane grew up watching Hasek in his prime with the Sabres.

"It's unbelievable that I scored my first goal on Hasek," Kanesaid. "It's not really a goal, but on Dominik Hasek, the guy Igrew up watching, it's unbelievable."


Nikolai Khabibulin made the tally stand, poke-checking the puckaway from Henrik Zetterberg and denying Jiri Hudler to give theBlackhawks the victory.


Chicago entered the third period staring at a 3-1 deficit. ButWisniewski received a cross-slot pass from Kevyn Adams and beatHasek to the stick side with a sweeping shot from the inner edgeof the left faceoff circle while shorthanded at 3:41, drawingthe Blackhawks within a goal.


"They had been on the power play for a while," Wisniewski said."Adams was skating up the ice and I thought I could beat theirguy. He hit me on the tape. I hit a one-timer into the net. Itwas a great shot."


Lang, who spent the previous 2 1/2 seasons with the Red Wingsbefore being allowed to test the free-agent market this pastsummer, forged a 3-3 tie with 3:40 to go. After gainingpossession in the neutral zone, the Czech carried down the slotand fired a wrister that beat Hasek high to the glove side forthe equalizer.


"It's strange playing against friends," Lang said. "I justtried to get the puck on net. I got a very good shot thatsurprised Hasek a little bit."


Tuomo Ruutu also scored and Khabibulin made 23 saves for theBlackhawks, who were without injured star Martin Havlat. TheAll-Star suffered a shoulder injury in Thursday's season openerand is out indefinitely.


Tomas Holmstrom and defensemen Nicklas Lidstrom and BrianRafalski netted power-play goals for Detroit, which won itsseason opener against Anaheim in a shootout.


The Red Wings jumped in front at 5:37 of the first period, whenRafalski beat Khabibulin with a slap shot from the top of theleft circle. Lidstrom doubled the lead 99 seconds into thesecond with a blast from the blue line.


Ruutu halved the deficit midway through the session, receiving apass from the left circle by Magnus Johansson and slipping thepuck by Hasek from the doorstep at 9:43. But Holmstrom tippedRafalski's shot from the left point past Khabibulin 72 secondslater to restore Detroit's two-goal cushion.


Zetterberg assisted on all three of the Red Wings' tallies.

After attending Detroit's training camp on a tryout basis beforesigning with Chicago, defenseman Brent Sopel recorded an assistfor the Blackhawks, who lost seven of their eight meetings withthe Red Wings last season.


"The whole league is better," Detroit coach Mike Babcock said."The Blackhawks have been drafting high for a long time, andtheir draft picks have been getting older. ... Tonight, theyplayed well and got two points."
