Patrick Kane can’t be stopped right now.

The Blackhawks winger pushed his point streak to a career-high 15 games with a first-period assist on Artem Anisimov’s goal.

Kane leads the NHL with 31 points and is on pace to score more than 130 points this season.

Entering Friday night, his 30 points through 19 games were the most by a Blackhawk since Denis Savard in 1988-89.

Kane also leads the NHL in goals (13), and plus/minus (13).

The 27-year-old has more three-point games this year (3), than he does zero-point games (2).

Even still, Kane would need to reach 28 games to even crack the top 10 streaks in NHL history.

Wayne Gretzky holds the NHL record with a 51-game streak in 1983-1984.

The Blackhawks and Flames are tied at one after two periods.
