Crazy as it is, it has taken more than thirty seasons for a Toronto Maple Leafs individual player point streak to make headlines once more.
With his goal in the dying minutes of the Toronto Maple Leafs win over the San Jose Sharks, Mitch Marner ensured it became a talking point once more, joining Darryl Sittler and Eddie Olczyk as joint-holders of the longest individual point streak in franchise history.
All this on a team loaded with plenty of other offensive talent and having been split from his line mates that combined to form one of the league’s best overall lines last season.
