Patrick Kane Scores in 22nd Straight Game to Break Bobby Hull’s Blackhawk Franchise record

Chicago Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane had an assist in the final minute of Chicago’s 3-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets on December 6th to extend his point scoring streak to 22 consecutive games. Kane passed Blackhawks legend Bobby Hull, who set the previous record of 21 during the 1971-72 season. Hull was on hand at the United Center to witness the milestone. Kane’s consecutive game scoring streak is the longest one in NHL history by a U.S. born player.
