""His type of player just transcends now, when back then there wasn't anybody that was really doing that," McAvoy said. "He changed the game of hockey. He's an absolute legend. And it's great that he's an American.""
""He's well on his way to being the best USA player of all time," countryman Jack Hughes said."
Patrick Kane recorded his 1,375th career point on an assist in a Detroit Red Wings game against the Washington Capitals to become the highest-scoring U.S.-born player in NHL history. Kane reached the milestone a few months after turning 37, while Mike Modano had 1,374 points at age 40. Kane was selected first overall in the 2007 draft by the Chicago Blackhawks and helped Chicago win three Stanley Cups between 2010 and 2015. Kane became the 50th player and fifth American to score 500 goals. Kane won the Calder Trophy (2007–08), the Conn Smythe Trophy (2013) and the Hart Trophy (2015–16) when he led the league in scoring.
