On Sat. January 7, Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner recorded his 500th NHL career point in a 4-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings. With his game-tying goal in the second period, Marner became the second-fastest Maple Leaf in franchise history to record 500 career points (second to Auston Matthews).
Also earlier this season, Marner set a franchise record with a 23-game point-scoring streak. Marner's streak was the longest in seven seasons and the longest in the 105-year history of the Maple Leafs. He became just the 12th player in NHL history with a points streak of 23 games. Marner had 11 goals and 21 assists during his run, which started Oct. 27, 2022 at San Jose (source: Sportsnet).
But wait, that's not all! On Wed. November 30, 2022, Marner also tied a Toronto Maple Leafs franchise record by registering a point for 18 games in a row. Marner's streak was extended with an empty-net goal against the visiting San Jose Sharks with 1.11 left in the third period, the final goal in Toronto's 3-1 win. Marner matched the mark set by Darryl Sittler and Ed Olczyk. Sittler had 33 points from Jan. 26-March 8, 1978 while Olczyk had 28 points from Dec. 2, 1989-Jan. 8, 1990 (source: Sportsnet).
