Chicago Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane joined an exclusive club on Sunday night, registering his 1,000th career NHL point in a game against the Winnipeg Jets.
Kane, who was stuck at 999 points after an assist in Saturday’s win over the Toronto Maple Leafs, registered an assist on a third period goal by Brandon Saad and was immediately mobbed by his teammates.
In hitting the milestone, Kane became just the fourth player to notch 1,000 career points with the Blackhawks, joining Stan Mikita, Bobby Hull, and Denis Savard in that exclusive group. Kane is also the 90th player in NHL history to reach the milestone and the first since Eric Staal hit the mark earlier this year.
Finally, Kane became the ninth American-born player to hit the milestone.
