From day one, Patrick Kane and his play made itself loud and clear that he was going to be amongst the indescribably raw talent within his generation of hockey. The Buffalo native has no problem proving why his induction to the league’s centennial anniversary NHL 100 is no joke, where it feels almost as though his record-breaking achievements pile on with every passing season. Here, we break down Kane’s youthful career with 10 of the most impressionable and respectable stats from over the years:

1.

In the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals, Kane netted the overtime game-winning goal, ending the franchise’s 49-year Stanley Cup drought. This goal made Kane the youngest player in NHL history to score a game-winning goal in overtime for a season champion title.
