When the take on the at the United Center Sunday night, will be putting his 25-game scoring streak on the line. Should he add a 26th game to the streak Sunday, it will officially be the longest such run since the 1992-93 season. It would also get Kane a step closer to Wayne Gretzkys record of 51 consecutive games with a point set back in 1983-84. Only 25 steps to go after that. With all of the chatter about Kanes streak, we decided to take a deeper look inside the numbers of one of the greatest individual feats of scoring the NHL has ever seen. 1. Of any of the longest scoring streaks in NHL history, Kane is doing it in the toughest season to score in This is one of those facts youve probably seen to sed around recently about Kanes streak, but it is worth repeating. To have something like this happen in a season that has seen NHL teams combine to score an average of 5. Zach Werenski Men Jersey 14 goals per game as low as many of the years in what was considered the Dead Puck Era is utterly insane. Individual teams are averaging just 2.66 goals scored per game this season, while Kane has averaged 1.56 points per game on his own over the streak. When Wayne Gretzky set the record in 1983-84, teams were averaging nearly four goals per game, the ninth-highest scoring season ever. The last time a player had a streak longer than Kanes -- Mats Sundins 30-game run in 1992-93 teams were scoring 3.63 goals per game, the 18th highest mark in NHL history. The 2015-16 season ranks 72nd of the 98 seasons in terms of individual team scoring, but only five other seasons in the post-expansion era have featured fewer team goals-per-game than this one. Additionally, 2015-16 is currently on pace to tie last year for the highest average save percentage for goalies in league history at .915. In 1992-93, goalies averaged an .885 save percentage. In 1983-84, it was .873 Zach Werenski Kids Jersey . 2. Since Kane started the streak, 21 of the leagues 30 teams have been shut out at least once There have been 44 shutouts in the NHL with 21 different teams on the wrong end of a whitewashing since Kanes streak began on Oct. 17. The got shut out just before Kane started the streak, so theres only eight full teams including the Blackhawks by one game that can say their scoring streak is longer than Kanes. By the way, the longest individual scoring streak after Kane this season? That goes to , and , who each started and ended nine-game scoring streaks earlier this year. Patrick Kane's production has helped carry the Blackhawks' offense this season. (USATSI) 3. Kane has contributed on 55 percent of Chicagos goals during the streak This is another one of those stats you may have already seen this week, but it shows just how much Kane has been carrying this team offensively over the course of the season. The Chicago Blackhawks have scored 71 Sonny Milano Men Jersey times so far during the 25 consecutive games in which Kane has had points. He has been involved in 39 of those goals, contributing on 54.9 percent of Chicagos offense over that span. Over the course of the full season, Kane has contributed to 55.5 percent of the teams 81 goals this year. To show just how much Kanes production has meant to this team, if you put together the point totals of top-line forwards and Marian Ho sa theyd still be 14 points shy of the 45 Kane has collected on his own. Here's another area where Kane's impact has been profound: The Blackhawks' fifth-ranked power play has scored 22 goals with the man-advantage this season. Kane has been involved in 15 of those goals, including 10 directly off his stick. Fourteen of his power-play points have come during the streak. Without Kane producing like he is, we could be talking about a Blackhawks team in real trouble. 4. Kanes streak came dangerously close to ending on five separate occasions. To go on a streak like this, Kane needed to have a little luck and hes gotten it fairly often. Sometimes it takes a little longer to come around than others. It should be noted that Kanes streak started with an empty-net goal on Oct. 17 with 1:27 to play in regulation. So it nearly didnt even start on time. Here are the five occasions Kanes streak nearly came to an end: Game 3 of the streak: Oct. 24 vs. . Kane a sists on Jonathan Toews overtime game-winning goal just 17 seconds into the extra period. Game 4: Oct. 26 vs. . Kane a sists on Jonathan Toews overtime game-winner for the second straight night, this time just 51 seconds into the extra frame. Had the Blackhawks not scored on their first overtime shift in back-to-back games, they likely end with Kane on the bench. Game 18: Nov. 27 vs. Anaheim Ducks. Kane picks up a secondary a sist on s game-tying goal with just 26.6 seconds remaining in regulation following a perfect saucer pa s under pre sure to , who set up Keith. Game 22: Dec. 6 vs. . With the Jets goaltender pulled, Kane redirects a high puck with his hand to the stick of for a legal hand pa s in the defensive zone. Panarin scored a long-distance empty-netter to help Kane secure the longest scoring streak in Blackhawks history in a most unconventional fashion. Game 23: Dec. 8 vs. . With the Blackhawks defending a 3-1 lead and Nashvilles goalie pulled, Kane was put on the ice. Not known as one of the teams best defenders, Joel Quenneville had to have the streak in Ryan Murray Men Jersey mind when putting Kane out for a key draw in the defensive zone. Kane scored a long-distance empty-netter shortly after the shift began. 5. These Blackhawks have benefited most from Kanes streak When a player has as many points as Kane does this season, its bound to make others look good and has it ever. Artemi Panarin is having a sensational rookie season in the NHL, po sibly good enough to win the Calder Trophy as rookie of the year. The 24-year-old Ru sian already has 28 points so far this season and Kane has been involved in 23 of them overall. Meanwhile, Panarin has contributed on 19 of the goals that also included Kane during the 25-game scoring streak. Lastly, seven of Panarins nine goals have come with a Kane a sist during the streak. Panarin is currently on pace to finish the season with 75 points. It would be the highest rookie total since posted 85 points and put up 78 in the 2006-07 season. Other players to score 75 points in their rookie years include Hall of Famers Jari Kurri, Mike Modano and Scott Harrington Women Jersey Denis Savard, whose No. 18 hangs in the rafters in Chicago. The Ru sian rookie is easily the biggest beneficiary, but certainly not the only one. All five of Brent Seabrooks goals this season have come with a sists from Kane during the scoring streak, as have three of Duncan Keiths four goals this season. also has five goals with Kane a sists during the streak. Both of Jonathan Toews OT winning goals came with Kane a sists during the streak as well. When a player is playing like this, everybody benefits. Now well see just how far Kane can take this thing. Much of the historical data in this piece culled from and .
