Detroit Red Wings forward Patrick Kane is approaching a status beyond legendary as he's bound to accomplish another milestone, as one of the best American-born forwards to lace up a pair of skates.
During the 2025-26 season, American-born forward Patrick Kane can set a new milestone.
This latest record he's on track to surpass will put him above all American-born NHL players. At the moment, Kane has a total of 1,359 points scored during his entire career.
This could be a record-breaking year for Kane, who has always been one of the league's most productive forwards.
A career that has spanned 19 years, and across three different franchises, the Detroit Red Wings, New York Rangers, and the Chicago Blackhawks, who drafted him 1st overall in 2007.
He's played 1,362 games in the NHL and has shown no signs of giving up yet.

Detroit Red Wings forward Patrick Kane is one of the best American-born players in the NHL
Patrick Kane has accomplished three times what many players in the NHL fail to accomplish even once. His multiple Stanley Cup runs prove he's a capable leader, and his "showtime" persona is always prevalent when he's at his best.
It's led to him winning multiple awards in the league, and now, in the latter stages of his career, he's racking up the points before he hits the Hall of Fame.
Kane is only 33 points from becoming the all-time points leader among all American-born players in the NHL. He's already surpassed one Red Wings legend this season in the record books.
Can he utilize the back half of the season to load up on points and help push the Detroit Red Wings into winning territory?
