Red Wings’ Patrick Kane sets NHL record for most shootout goals

Patrick Kane has achieved many milestones in his career, and on Tuesday night, the Detroit Red Wings’ forward accomplished another, scoring his 53rd career shootout goal and becoming the NHL’s all-time leader.

Kane passed his former teammate Jonathan Toews on the all-time shootout goal list, as the two former Chicago Blackhawks were tied with 52 going into Tuesday night.

Kane’s shootout attempt was the only one scored, helping the Red Wings earn a 5-4 win over the Seattle Kraken on the road.

Kane’s best season was arguably 2015-16, finishing with a league-leading 106 points (46 goals and 60 assists), winning the Art Ross Trophy, the Ted Lindsay Award and the Hart Trophy.
