Patrick Kane has tied the record for longest point streak by an American with an assist on Duncan Keith’s game-tying goal against the Anaheim Ducks on Friday.
The Chicago Blackhawks star has now recorded a point in 18 straight games.
It looked as though his streak would end at 17, with the Ducks up 2-1 and less than a half a minute remaining. But Kane sent the puck to Brent Seabrook who gave it to Keith – and his slap shot beat Anaheim goaltender John Gibson on the blocker side.
Kane is now tied with Ed Olczyk (1988-89) and Phil Kessel (2008-09) for the longest American streak. He’s still 10 games short of cracking the top 10 point streaks of all time.
Chicago’s next game is Saturday against the Los Angeles Kings.
