Knight passes Canada's Wickenheiser for most all-time points at women's hockey worlds

United States forward Hilary Knight set a record for all-time career points in the women's world hockey championship with a goal and an assist in her team's 12-1 win over Hungary in a quarterfinal Thursday.

After what appeared to be a record-clinching second assist of the second period, Knight was mobbed by her teammates near the U.S. bench in celebration.

Scorers eventually assigned one of her assists to a teammate later in the game, but Knight's goal early in the third period ensured the record was hers.

Knight, playing in her 12th world championship, also increased her all-time record for goals in the tournament to 51.
