Hawks' Kane makes NHL history ahead of tussle with Sharks

Patrick Kane came through when the Blackhawks needed him most, as he often does,in a 3-2 shootout win over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday afternoon.

Before sealing the victory with the lone shootout goal, Kane scored the game-tying goal on a 6-on-3 power play with 33.5 seconds remaining in regulation, becoming the first American-born player in NHL history to score 20-plus goals in each of his first nine seasons, per CSN's Christopher Kamka.

Only three other active players have accomplished that feat: Jaromir Jagr, Alex Ovechkin and Thomas Vanek.
