37-year-old Detroit Red Wings forward, Patrick Kane, is looking to become the 50th player in NHL history to reach the 500-goal mark. With all of Kane’s success in his career, as well as his recent success with the Red Wings, why is it taking Kane so long to reach 500 goals, and why is his scoring down so much from previous seasons?
Kane came into the season eight goals away from 500. Now 29 games into his season, he has only found the back of the net six times. The main issue in Kane’s game right now is not his playmaking abilities, or ice time, but rather his ability to have his shots hit the net.
