Kane Sets Record for Most Points by U.S.-Born Player in NHL History
Patrick Kane has rewritten the records books by surpassing Mike Modano as the highest-scoring U.S.-born player in NHL history. The Chicago Blackhawks forward notched his 1,375th point on an assist in a game against the Washington Capitals, cementing his status as one of the greatest American hockey players of all time.
Kane's achievement is a testament to his enduring impact on the sport. Fellow American and teammate Jack Eichel hailed him as "a great representation of USA Hockey" and noted that he has inspired a new generation of American players to strive for greatness. Kane's own impressive career has been marked by numerous accolades, including three Stanley Cup wins with the Blackhawks, the Calder Trophy as rookie of the year, and the Hart Trophy as regular-season MVP.
The 37-year-old forward's incredible longevity and consistency have allowed him to set a new standard for American players in the NHL. U.S.-born defenseman Charlie McAvoy praised Kane's ability to "do stuff that at the time people didn't do," and noted that he has transcended the sport, changing the way teams play and approach the game.
Kane's impressive resume also includes becoming the 50th player and fifth American to score 500 goals in NHL history. His countryman Jack Hughes hailed him as "well on his way to being the best USA player of all time."
