Watch the Patrick Sharp tribute video shown at Thursday’s Blackhawks game

Patrick Sharp returned to the United Center tonight for a game for the first time since becoming a cap casualty from Chicago’s championship run last season.

The team welcomed him – as well as fellow former Blackhawk Johnny Oduya – back with a pair of tribute videos shown during the first period.

Players from both teams watched Sharp’s video during a timeout and he received a standing ovation from the crowd.
