The Dallas Stars killed off 23 in a row, but Patrick Marleau scored in the last few minutes of the third period to end the streak.
Even though the streak ended there, it wasn’t a normal penalty kill situation. The Leafs had pulled their goaltender for the extra attacker, so it took a two-man advantage to finally get one in on the Stars.
Despite the streak, which lasted over two weeks, the Stars don’t have the best penalty kill in the league. Instead, they sit at sixth with a 86.5%.
The Lightning are in first place, but that’s fine.
