Hilary Knight breaks IIHF Women's World Championship points record

With her third period goal on Thursday against Hungary, Team USA forward Hilary Knight has passed Hockey Hall of Famer Hayley Wickenheiser for most points in IIHF Women's World Championship history with 87.

Knight, 33, is currently competing in her twelfth IIHF Women's World Championship for the United States, after making her tournament debut back in 2007.

In her time with the United States national team, Knight has won eight World Championship gold medals, three World Championship silver medals, one Olympic gold medal and three Olympic silver medals.

There's no doubt that once her illustrious career is over, Hilary Knight will be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
