Chicago Blackhawks winger Patrick Kane has won the Art Ross Trophy as the NHL's leading scorer. He is the first American-born player in NHL history to capture the Ross since it has been awarded, dating back to 1947-48.

Kane put together the best season of his career to win the scoring title. He registered 106 points, which included 46 goals and 60 assists, both of which were career highs. He is one of just four players to have eclipsed the 100-point mark over the last five full NHL seasons and had a 17-point advantage over the league's next closest top scorer -- reigning Ross winner Jamie Benn of the Dallas Stars (89 points).

Kane is also the first Blackhawk to win the Ross since Stan Mikita and Bobby Hull combined to win it five straight years from 1963-64 to 1967-68. Roy Conacher is the only other Blackhawks player to have claimed the award, doing so in 1948-49.
