Patrick Kane has been a star in the NHL since he first stepped in the league. He always produces offensively and is continuing to do so on the Detroit Red Wings who he is in his second season with.
The impressive milestone Kane reached in the Red Wings’ latest win was becoming the new record holder in the NHL for the most 20-goal seasons by a U.S. born player with 17. From age 19 to 36, he has consistently been able to put 20 pucks in the back of the net every season except one, the COVID year that restricted him to 56 games. Kane scored 15 goals and 66 points that season and was on track to hit 20 goals fairly easily.
Kane scored at least 20 goals in 13 consecutive seasons from the start of his career. The veteran is a five-time 30-goal scorer and two-time 40-goal scorer in the NHL, all coming with the Chicago Blackhawks.
Kane also happened to record his 100th point as a Red Wing in the same game he hit 20 goals in a season again. He has 40 goals as a member of Detroit, but scored 446 goals and recorded 1225 points in 1161 games as a Blackhawk and five goals and 12 points in 19 games as a member of the New York Rangers.
I think Kane isn’t close to being done yet. His contract is up at the end of the season and I don’t see a return to the Blackhawks, but he has fit in nicely on the Red Wings and it has enabled him to seamlessly keep putting up points.
