Artemi Panarin has made Columbus Blue Jackets history in his first season with the club.
The winger recorded one goal and two assists Tuesday against Detroit, reaching 80 points for the season (27 goals, 53 assists) in 80 games.
The total eclipses the franchise's single-season points record of 79 set by Rick Nash in 2008-09, according to the Blue Jackets.
Panarin was acquired from Chicago in a multi-player trade last summer that saw Brandon Saad go the other way. He recorded 77 points as a Blackhawks rookie in 2015-16, and 74 with Chicago last season.
