What It Means:

Kane assisted on Artem Anisimov's first-period goal, and he lit the lamp to extend Chicago's lead to 3-1 in the second period. The 27-year-old has to be considered the favorite to land the Hart Trophy (league MVP) this season.

Jonathan Toews led Chicago with 66 points last season. Kane already has 30 goals and 71 points in 49 games this year. We project Kane to record 17 more goals and 25 more assists the rest of the way. His 53.5 Corsi For Percentage is below his career average while his 1.8 Relative Corsi For Percentage at Even Strength is his best mark since 2011-'12.
