Vancouver Canucks at Detroit Red Wings
· National Hockey League
Patrick Kane scores twice to reach 500 goals in Red Wings' 5-1 win over Canucks
The 37-year-old Kane is the fifth U.S.-born player to reach the milestone, following Mike Modano (561), Keith Tkachuk (538), Jeremy Roenick (513) and Joe Mullen (502). Brett Hull, a dual citizen who was born in Canada and played internationally for the United States, had 741 goals.
Kane opened the scoring on a two-man advantage with 29 seconds left in the first period. He snapped a shot to the short side over goalie Kevin Lankinen’s leg pad.
Kane has 1,369 points, five behind Modano for the U.S.-born mark. Left off the U.S. Olympic team, Kane has eight goals in 30 games this season. He has missed 15 games because of injuries.
Axel Sandin-Pellikka, J.T. Compher and Lucas Raymond also scored for Detroit, and John Gibson made 24 saves.
Jake DeBrusk scored for Vancouver, and Lankinen stopped 20 shots in the second game of six-game trip. The Canucks have lost five straight and seven of eight.
Sandin-Pellikka made it 2-0 at 5:09 of the second, and DeBrusk countered for Vancouver on a power play at 7:03 of the period.
Compher scored from close-range with 9:50 to go in the second off a nifty feed from James van Riemsdyk.
Raymond scored after Kane's empty-netter.
