Patrick Kane (1-1-2) scored his 20th goal of the season to help the Chicago Blackhawks pick up their sixth consecutive road win.

* Elias notes that Kane (Buffalo, N.Y.) became the first American-born player in NHL history to score 20 or more goals in each of his first 10 seasons. The only other American-born player to have 10 or more consecutive 20-goal seasons at any time during his NHL career was Keith Tkachuk (Melrose, Mass.), who did so in 12 straight seasons from 1992-93 to 2003-04.

* Elias adds that Kane became the fifth player in Blackhawks history to reach the 20-goal mark in 10 or more seasons, joining Stan Mikita (14), Bobby Hull (13), Steve Larmer (11) and Denis Savard (10). Kane also joined Savard (1980-81 to 1989-90) as the only players in Blackhawks history to score 20 or more goals in each of their first 10 NHL seasons.
