Blackhawks' Kane Loses Longest Points Streak Since 1992-93 at 26 Games

Chicago Blackhawks right wing Patrick Kane saw his points streak end at 26 games in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Colorado Avalanche, giving him the longest single-season streak since Mats Sundin recorded a point in 30 consecutive games for the Quebec Nordiques during the 1992-93 campaign, per ESPN Stats & Info.

The Nordiques, of course, would move to Colorado and adopt the "Avalanche" nickname just three seasons later, at which point Sundin had moved on to the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Neither Sundin nor Kane came close to Wayne Gretzky's record of 51 consecutive appearances with a point, but the NHL has changed quite a bit since The Great One accomplished that feat to begin the 1983-84 season.
