Patrick Kane Nears 500 Goals, Eyes U.S.-Born NHL Points Record

Detroit Red Wings forward Patrick Kane is on the verge of NHL history. He is now just two goals away from reaching 500 career goals, a milestone only 49 other players have achieved, and would make him the fifth U.S.-born player to do so. Additionally, Kane is only nine points shy of surpassing Mike Modano (1,374) for the most career points by an American-born NHL player, currently sitting at 1,366 points after scoring his 498th goal in Saturday's 4-0 win against the Blackhawks. He has a chance to achieve these feats in the Red Wings' upcoming homestand.
