As The Athletic’s Chris Johnston discusses free agent defenseman John Klingberg’s attempts to return from double hip resurfacing surgery, there’s a nugget of good Red Wings-related news from one Patrick Kane at the end of Klingberg’s article:
Kane had the resurfacing done on his right hip — not both sides like Klingberg — but sounded an optimistic tone when asked how his body responded to contact and the return to the day-to-day rigors of NHL life.
“Since I’ve been back, I’ve felt no pain, nothing, with the hip joint,” Kane said. “That’s obviously been a huge positive.”
