The 30-year-old forward, who has 21 points (seven goals, 14 assists) in a nine-game point streak, can join Denis Savard (11 times) and Bobby Hull (five times) in achieving the feat. Kane's next point will also be the 900th of his NHL career.
The Blackhawks, playing their first game following their mandatory five-day break after the 2019 Honda NHL All-Star Weekend, seek their third consecutive win following a five-game losing streak (0-3-2).
The Sabres are playing the first of seven straight at home, tying a stretch from Jan. 20 to Feb. 2, 1997 as the longest homestand in Buffalo history. Buffalo is 4-8-1 in its past 13 games and have allowed at least four goals in five of its past seven games.
