Chicago Blackhawks Right Wing Patrick Kane wins Art Ross Trophy, his first career, presented “to the player who leads the league in scoring points at the end of the regular season.”
Kane finished the season with a career-high 46 goals, 60 assists and 106 points, besting Dallas Stars forward Jamie Benn (41-48—89) and Pittsburgh Penguins forward Sidney Crosby (36-49—85).
Kane registered at least one point in 64 of the 82 contests he played in (78.0%), highlighted by a 26-game point streak Oct. 17 – Dec. 13 (16-24—40) – a franchise record, the longest by a U.S.-born player in NHL history and the longest by any player since 1992-93 (Mats Sundin: 30).
He also recorded his first two career hat tricks (Jan. 15 at TOR and April 3 vs. BOS) and scored in a career-high seven straight games Nov. 2-15 (7-9—16), tied for the longest such run by any player this season.
The Buffalo, N.Y., native became the first U.S.-born player in NHL history to capture the Art Ross Trophy. He also became the first U.S.-born player to reach the 100-point milestone since 1995-96 (Doug Weight: Detroit, Mich.) and the first Blackhawks player to hit the number since 1993-94 (Jeremy Roenick).
