Kane, who needed two points to reach that mark, had a power-play goal and assist during Detroit's four-goal first period. DeBrincat scored for the second consecutive game after missing the previous 16 due to a fractured fibula. The Capitals star forward is 25 goals shy of passing Wayne Gretzky’s NHL record of 894.
Capitals: Ovechkin’s 17 goals through his first 20 games this season are tied for the second most he’s scored during the first 20 games of any season. Ovechkin, 39, is in his 20th season. Red Wings: The Wings were sharper and more energetic in McLellan's second game behind the bench. They took advantage of a tired Capitals team playing its second game in less than 24 hours. Following Ovechkin's goal, the Red Wings answered 31 seconds later to take a 3-1 lead. DeBrincat scored in front off a backhanded pass from Kane. Kane is the second U.S.-born player to reach 1,300 points, trailing only Mike Modano's 1,374. Kane is also the fourth active player to reach that milestone, joining Ovechkin and Penguin
