Chicago Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane looked especially excited Sunday after tallying on the powerplay against the Boston Bruins. Was it because he had just netted his third goal of the game midway through the second period? Maybe, but he also probably knew what that third goal meant.
Along with an assist, Kane’s three goals allowed him to reach 100 points for the season. Kane is just the fifth Blackhawks player to ever hit the 100-point plateau, following Bobby Hull (107 in 1968-69), Denis Savard (five times between 1981 and 1988), Steve Larmer (101 in 1990-91) and Jeremy Roenick (three times between 1991 and 1994).
