Blackhawks wear Kane jerseys for warmups to celebrate his 1,000th game

The Chicago Blackhawks had 23 Patrick Kanes on the ice for warmups Tuesday.

The Blackhawks celebrated their star forward's 1,000th NHL game with each player donning his No. 88 jersey before their game against the Florida Panthers at United Center.

Tuesday was Chicago's first home game since Kane played his 1,000th NHL game against the Dallas Stars on March 9. Chicago
auctioned the warmup jerseys
with proceeds benefitting the Blackhawks Foundation.
Kane requested that a full celebration be paused until fans are allowed back in United Center, but the Blackhawks still held a ceremony with his parents, girlfriend Amanda and son Patrick III. The Blackhawks took videos of Kane's family and fans cheering him on that aired during the national anthem.

Kane, who had two assists in Chicago's 3-2 win, appreciated the love and support his teammates showed throughout the night.
"It's cool to see that stuff," Kane said after the game. "It's always nice when your teammates are there for you, and you can share those moments with them."
