Red Wings' Kane ties Stars' Modano as highest-scoring American-born players in
NHL history
DETROIT (AP) --- Patrick Kane of the Detroit Red Wings has tied Dallas' Mike
Modano as the highest-scoring U.S.-born players in NHL history.
Kane matched Mike Modano by recording his 1,374th point on an assist on a goal
by Alex DeBrincat late in Detroit's game Tuesday night against the Los Angeles
Kings. He got there a couple of months after turning 37, while Modano was 40
when he scored a goal to register point No. 1,374.
Kane has been one of the faces of American hockey since getting taken with the
first pick in the 2007 draft by Chicago. He helped the Blackhawks win the
Stanley Cup three times from 2010-15 as a co-headliner of one of the most
successful runs since the league's salary cap era began in '05.
Earlier this month, Kane became the 50th player and fifth American to score 500
goals, following Keith Tkachuk, Jeremy Roenick and Joe Mullen. Brett Hull, a
dual citizen who was born in Canada and played internationally for the U.S.,
had 741 goals and 1,391 points.
Kane won the Calder Trophy as rookie of the year in '07-08, the Conn Smythe
Trophy as playoff MVP in 2013 and the Hart Trophy as regular-season MVP in
2015-16, when he also led the league in scoring.
Kane has 1,374 points (500 goals, 874 assists) in 1,341 career NHL
regular-season games.
Modano retired in 2011 with 561 goals and 813 assists in 1,499 games.
