Overview

  • Kane logged a secondary assist on Ben Chiarot’s goal at 9:52 of the second period against the Capitals at Little Caesars Arena to reach 1,375 points and pass Mike Modano.
  • An apparent first-period record-setter on an Alex DeBrincat power-play goal was erased on an offside review before Kane officially registered the milestone point.
  • His career total now stands at 500 goals and 875 assists, placing him among the NHL’s top 30 all-time scorers and fourth among active players.
  • He had tied Modano’s mark earlier in the week against the Kings, and Detroit played a video of Modano congratulating him after the record was set.
  • Detroit lost 4-3 in a shootout on the night, as Kane’s achievement capped a comeback from 2023 hip surgery and a productive run since signing with the Red Wings.
