The Chicago Blackhawks have a lot of excitement surrounding them heading into the 2025-26 season. There are some young players in the organization hoping to take big steps this season.
There will also be a desire to watch some older Blackhawks legends work their magic in other markets. In particular, Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane who are both closing in on some impressive NHL milestones.
Kane, playing for the Detroit Red Wings, has 492 career goals. His 8th of the 2025-26 season will be the 500th of his Hall of Fame career. He also had 1343 career points, which means that reaching 57 would get him to that 1400 mark. Although it’s not a guarantee, it is an attainable number for Kane, even at his age.
As for Toews, who signed with the Winnipeg Jets this summer to return to the NHL, he is sitting with 372 goals and 883 points. We don’t know what his production will look like in his return from a two-year hiatus in his late 30s, but he’s 28 goals from 400 and 17 points away from 900.
The points milestone is likely for Toews, while the goals may be tough. He has the pedigree to do it, but he’d have to perform above expectations.
Although they are in other markets now, Blackhawks fans will always be interested in what's going on with the two legends who gave them so many great moments. Even when Toews and Kane go head-to-head for the first time in the NHL, which will take place in Detroit on December 31st, Chicago will be locked in watching them.
Almost all of their hockey glory came in a Chicago Blackhawks sweater, and seeing them reach some of these milestones will be special, despite being in different colors.
