CHICAGO - Chicago Blackhawks right winger Patrick Kane knew that a 33-year-old franchise record was on the line when he took the ice against the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday night.
“To be honest, I probably thought about it a little too much,” Kane said.
Kane can stop thinking and start celebrating. He earned an assist on an empty-net goal late in the third period to increase his point streak to 22 games, and the Blackhawks held on for a 3-1 win over the Jets.
Bobby Hull applauded from his seat as Kane’s teammates offered congratulations on the bench.
