Kane just made NHL history

The shootout was introduced in the NHL back in 2005 and Patrick Kane’s filthy backhander has been lethal in the shootout for as long as it’s been here. Coming into last nights matchup as the Detroit Red Wings faced off against the Seattle Kraken, on the back of some key stops from Joey Daccord, the Kraken were able to come back and tie the game at 4 in the 3rd period. After overtime settled nothing, it meant Patrick Kane had the opportunity to make a NHL history. See, coming into this game he was already tied for first with Jonathan Toews at 52 shootout goals. Ironically, it meant he had the chance to take over that number 1 spot against his long time Blackhawks teammate and boy did he ever do it! Giving us a vintage Kane backhander off the pipe and in! It was a thing of beauty giving Patrick Kane the throne and title of King of the Shootout! Further, it being the only goal in the shootout, it also marked his 23rd game deciding shootout goal now tying him for 1st in that category as well with Franz Neilson. It was a fun one, so enjoy as I cover all that and more in todays NHL hockey video!
