Patrick Kane<\/a> became the all-time leading scorer among United States-born players on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The Detroit Red Wings forward got his 1,375th NHL point with an assist at 9:52 of the second period of a 4-3 shootout loss against the Washington Capitals at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit.<\/p>\n

Kane got the record-breaking point on Ben Chiarot<\/a>‘s goal, a one-timer from the point that tied the game 1-1. Kane skated the puck toward the left corner before passing to Alex DeBrincat<\/a>, who spun and reversed the puck out to Chiarot for the shot.<\/p>\n

Kane previously tied the record with an assist on DeBrincat’s goal at 17:45 of the third period in a 3-1 home loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The 37-year-old, who is in his 19th NHL season, passed the previous mark set by Mike Modano<\/a>, who until Tuesday had held sole possession of the record since Nov. 7. 2007, when he got his 1,233rd point to pass Phil Housley.<\/p>\n

Modano, who played his first 20 NHL seasons with the Minnesota North Stars\/Dallas Stars, finished his career with the Red Wings in 2010-11 with 1,374 points (561 goals, 813 assists).<\/p>\n

With his one point on Thursday, Kane has 500 goals and 875 assists in 1,342 career regular-season games.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never really thought about any American scoring records or being a top American player of all time, right?\u201d Kane said recently. \u201cYou\u2019re just playing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Patrick Kane became the all-time leading scorer among United States-born players on Thursday.
