The highest-scoring American-born NHLer appears to be a fan of the league's newest franchise.
Mike Modano, who tops the list of U.S.-born players with 1,374 points in nearly 1,500 career games, was spotted in Vegas Golden Knights' threads Sunday.
The latest entry into the American sunbelt, the Golden Knights will begin play this season, and appear to have at least one big-name supporter in Modano.
No doubt the former Dallas Stars center knows a thing or two about growing hockey in the south. After spending the first five years of his career with the original Minnesota North Stars, Modano stuck with the franchise when it uprooted to Dallas in 1993.
Upon arriving in Texas, Modano's greatest achievement with the Stars came in 1999, when he netted a team-leading 23 points to lead the team to its first Stanley Cup. He announced his retirement in 2011.
If only he could lace them up for the Golden Knights.
