The moment was an extremely emotional one for Kane, who said that he will "never forget that moment."

"I'll never forget that. I'll never forget that moment, I told the team that after. Just looking at everyone's face and everyone's excitement was a cool moment." - Patrick Kane on team mobbing him after 1000th point. Said Toews probably had something to do in orchestrating it.

Kane's special moment came amid a 5-2 Blackhawks win over the Winnipeg Jets that gives Chicago their fifth straight win and puts them three points out of the final wildcard spot in the Western Conference with a game in hand.
