Patrick Kane Scores Career Goal No. 500 as Red Wings Thrash Canucks

Patrick Kane became the 50th NHL player to score 500 goals, reaching the milestone with two goals in Detroit's 5-1 win over Vancouver, marking his eighth goal this season.

  • On Thursday at Little Caesars Arena, Patrick Kane, right wing for the Detroit Red Wings, scored his 500th career goal into an empty net with 3:53 left, helping Detroit beat the Vancouver Canucks 5-1.
  • Battling a season that included being left off the U.S. Olympic team and missing 15 games due to injuries, Kane opened the scoring on a two-man advantage with 29 seconds left in the first period.
  • Supporting Detroit's attack, Sandin-Pellikka, Compher and Raymond scored, with Sandin-Pellikka's fifth goal at 5:09 of the second and Compher's first in 19 games at 10:10.
  • The victory pushed Detroit to a 26-15-4 record with 56 points, marking their second straight win after a disappointing two-game series against Pittsburgh, while Vancouver Canucks lost five straight and seven of eight games on a six-game trip.
  • With the milestone, Kane's career totals show 1,369 points and eight goals this season, placing him five points behind Mike Modano for the U.S.-born scoring mark.
