CHICAGO - Patrick Kane carved out his own piece of history Sunday in the Windy City, although it lacked some of the artistic flair that has become the trademark of the Chicago Blackhawks forward.
By drawing an assist on an empty-net goal in a 3-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets, Kane set a franchise record with points in 22 consecutive games, passing Bobby Hull, who set the mark in 1971-72 — just months before joining the World Hockey Association’s Jets.
The Jets kept the flashy forward in check for the first 58 minutes and 14 seconds of the game, but trailing 2-1, opted to pull Michael Hutchinson for the extra attacker.
