Patrick Kane Point Streak

[L K]

Not a very good offseason for Kane but is he ever having a great year so far.  37 points in 24 games.  He is currently on a 19-game point streak that just set the record for longest streak by an American player.  He has points in 22 of 24 games on the year.

He's now on pace for 126 points. Benn's looking at 119 points and Seguin 116. 19 players with 20+ games this season are currently scoring at a point-per-game, plus a lot more who are pretty close.

Scoring problems? What scoring problems?

I noticed those 3 are all from the West. The highest scoring forwards in the East are Kuznetsov, Krejci, Plekanec, Pacioretty, and Cammalleri. You know, the usual elite hockey forward names.

(Granted Ovechkin and Malkin are 6 & 7)

He's scored to extend it to 21 games and tie Bobby Hull for franchise record.

So, Kessel is just like Kane huh.

Kane extends his streak to 22 games by assisting on the EN goal in a 3-1 win against Winnipeg.

He got the only Blackhawks goal in a 5-1 loss to extend it to 24 games.  Still not even halfway to Gretzky's record!

I'd say that there's a conspiracy within the NHL to keep Kane's point streak going and that's why goalie interference wasn't called on this play, but then I remembered that the NHL still doesn't know what goalie interference is so...

25 games and counting

26 games now, on a secondary assist (woohoo).

Kane got a secondary assist on Duncan Keith's power-play goal 11:51 into the first period. His pass to Keith started the sequence that led to the goal. Keith initially set up rookie left wing Artemi Panarin for a one-timer that hit the left post, and got a pass back from Panarin off the rebound for his own shot.

"I passed it and it went in 10 or 15 seconds later," Kane said. "I actually didn't know I got an assist until I heard them announce it. I was hoping they didn't get it wrong and then maybe they've got to call it back."

The crazy thing about his feat is that he is approaching 30 games, only done by three other players in the history of the league (Gretzky, Lemieux and Sundin).

While it's legit in terms of the rules, that was a pretty generous assist. Kane's pass had very little to do with the goal as it was scored.
