AutoDraft Pro AI

Detroit Red Wings forward Patrick Kane made NHL history on Thursday, becoming the highest-scoring U.S.-born player with his 1,375th career point. He surpassed Mike Modano with an assist on Ben Chiarot's second-period goal. Kane's teammates celebrated the milestone, and a pre-recorded video message from Modano was played on the scoreboard, which Kane appreciated as a "classy gesture." Kane, who looked up to Modano, now holds the record, further solidifying his legacy as one of the best American players of all time.
