Good morning to everyone except whoever invented snow. You suck, Dave Snow, or whatever your name is. The rest of you are cool, though.
There were just four NHL games last night, although that Lightning-Mammoth battle had some real intensity and we got another Ilya Sorokin shutout. We also had a trade between … the Rangers and Islanders? Unacceptable. Dogs and cats, things of that nature.
Kane passes Modano for most points by U.S.-born player
Patrick Kane is now the highest-scoring U.S.-born player in NHL history.
Kane passed Mike Modano on Thursday night by recording his 1,375th point on an assist in the Detroit Red Wings' game against the Washington Capitals. He got there a couple of months after turning 37, while Modano was 40 when he scored a goal to register point No. 1,374.
"When you think of USA Hockey, he's one of the first players that comes to mind, if not the first player," fellow American Jack Eichel said. "Such a great representation of USA Hockey and us Americans — something for a lot of the guys that came after him to strive to be, myself included."

Kane passes Modano to become all-time leading U.S.-born scorer
Patrick Kane became the all-time leading scorer among United States-born players on Thursday.
The Detroit Red Wings forward got his 1,375th NHL point with an assist at 9:52 of the second period against the Washington Capitals at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit.
Kane got the record-breaking point on Ben Chiarot's goal, a one-timer from the point that tied the game 1-1. Kane skated the puck toward the left corner before passing to Alex DeBrincat in the circle, who spun and reversed the puck out to Chiarot for the shot.
That came after he tied the record with an assist on DeBrincat's goal at 17:45 of the third period in a 3-1 home loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday.
