Kane became the highest-scoring United States-born player in NHL history, passing Mike Modano with an assist for his 1,375th point Thursday night for the Detroit Red Wings against the Washington Capitals.

"It's nice to have it over with in some ways and worry about the rest of the season," Kane said after Washington's 4-3 shootout win.

Kane passed the puck from the boards to Alex DeBrincat in the left circle, and DeBrincat set up Ben Chiarot for a tying goal from the point midway through the second period.

Madono would have been playing longer but concussions shortened things up. He was a sniper and skated great. La Fontaine in Buffalo had similar issues. It’s a great sport but just like getting old, it ain’t for sissies.
