DETROIT — Patrick Kane is back. Kane took the first shift at right with the Detroit Red Wings against the San Jose Sharks on Thursday night in his season debut, and finished with three shots in a 6-5 overtime loss. The 35-year-old Kane had his hip surgically repaired six months ago and is shooting to become the third NHL player to come back from the procedure. Detroit signed the playmaking wing last week to a prorated $2.75 million contract for the rest of the season to bolster its chances of earning a spot in the playoffs for the first time since 2016.
