Patrick Kane Reaches 1,300 Career Points as Red Wings Defeat Capitals

Detroit snaps a four-game losing streak under new coach Todd McLellan, while Alex Ovechkin closes in on Wayne Gretzky's goal record.

Patrick Kane becomes the second U.S.-born player and fourth active NHL player to reach 1,300 career points, with a goal and an assist in Detroit's 4-2 win over Washington.
The Red Wings secured their first victory under new head coach Todd McLellan, who replaced Derek Lalonde last week.
Alex Ovechkin scored his 17th goal of the season, bringing him within 24 goals of tying Wayne Gretzky's all-time NHL record of 894.
Detroit's Alex DeBrincat contributed two goals, including a key response just 31 seconds after Ovechkin's tally in the first period.
The Capitals remain one point behind first-place New Jersey in the Eastern Conference, as their star forward Ovechkin continues his return from a fractured fibula.
