In the 2018-19 season, this trio was a nightmare for opposing teams, especially on the power play, where they were a key part of a Blackhawks unit that clicked at 20.17%. That year, Kane dominated with 44 goals and 110 points, leading the team in scoring. DeBrincat was right behind him, netting 41 goals and 76 points, while Gustafsson enjoyed a breakout year with 17 goals and 60 points, including 18 points on the power play.
Now reunited in Detroit, their chemistry has already resurfaced during training camp. Red Wings head coach Derek Lalonde has noticed their seamless coordination, particularly Gustafsson's ability to move the puck and create space for Kane.
DeBrincat and Kane have spoken highly of Gustafsson's deceptive passing and vision. DeBrincat noted that Gustafsson is a master of creating scoring opportunities, even when it looks like he's preparing to shoot. Kane echoed this sentiment, calling Gustafsson one of the best power-play quarterbacks he's ever played with.
