Nov 27, 2019 1:47 AM

Patrick Kane scored his 12th goal of the season in the Blackhawks' 3-0 win over the Stars on Tuesday, extending his point streak to 13 games.

"It seems like he always finds a way to score a big goal in a big game," Blackhawks goaltender Corey Crawford said. "He's obviously one of the best players in the league and can change a game at any time. It's nice that he's on our team."

Kane has nine goals and 13 assists in this span, and he kept the league's longest active streak alive with a power-play wrist shot.
