Kane continues to pile up points this season. The winger had an assist - the 600th of his career - on Strome's goal to give him 29 points in 22 games thus far.
"It would have nice if it was after a win," Kane said of the milestone. "(I) probably would have been a little more upbeat about it, but (it's) still a pretty cool number."
Kane continues to work his way up the all-time scoring list. With his 967th career point, Kane passed Canadiens legend Maurice Richard to move into 94th place in scoring all time. Kane said only since breaking into the Top 100 scorers in history has he paid much attention to the list.
"Not so much, except for maybe as of the past week or 10 days, especially when you see the name like 'Rocket Richard,'" Kane said. "So, yeah, you're starting to see some more names that you're passing like Henrik Zetterberg. Obviously, he was an unreal player for a long time too, so it's pretty special. It's nothing you're really thinking about, you're just trying to play the game and do what you can out there. You want to keep going and keep getting better and better but those are always cool names to pass while you're on the way."
Kane said he'll look back on his accomplishments when he's done playing.
"Right now, I think I'm just trying to play as well as I can and take it year by year, see how it goes (and) just keep trying to produce," Kane said. "Produce as much as you can and hopefully those numbers look good at the end of your career."
So Kane doesn't have his sights set on surpassing Wayne Gretzky's 2,857 points for the top spot?
"I might have to play until I'm like 95 or something," Kane said. "I don't think I can do that, but you never know."
