Going into the 2015-16 NHL season, Patrick Kane had won three Stanley Cups (2010, 2013, and 2015). He was the face of the Blackhawks Cup dynasty at the time. But Kane became something more that season. He was a scoring machine.
Kane had probably the best season in his career, the best in team history and arguably the most dominant season by any U.S.-born player in NHL history.
And it all started with a streak.
The Streak Heard Around the League
On Oct. 17, 2015, Kane started his 26-game point streak against the Columbus Blue Jackets with an empty-net goal in the Blackhawks' 4-1 win at home.
