Morning Bag Skate: Patrick Kane's point streak continues in loss to Wild

**The Blackhawks couldn't come away with the win over the Wild on Wednesday night but Patrick Kane scored a power play goal to extend his ongoing point streak to 20 games. He's already set the record for longest NHL point streak by an American-born player and isn't too far from matching the mark for longest streak since the 2004-05 lockout.
