Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner extended his franchise record point-streak to 21 games on Thursday against the Los Angeles Kings.
With the Maple Leafs already up 3-0 in the second period, Marner wired a shot past Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick to give the Leafs a four-goal advantage.

The 25-year-old star winger broke the Leafs’ post-streak record during Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning with a two-goal performance that helped him surpass Darryl Sittler (1977-78) and Eddie Olczyk (1989-90), who both put together 18-game streaks while playing in Toronto.
Marner has the third longest point-streak among active players behind Chicago Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane (26 games) and Pittsburgh Penguins centre Sidney Crosby (25 games).
