DALLAS — Mitch Marner continues to add to his franchise-record points streak.
The Toronto Maple Leafs forward picked up an assist on John Tavares' game-opening goal against the Dallas Stars on Tuesday.
The goal took place at 4:51 of the first period and Marner didn't see a lot of time in the game up until that point, as he had served a penalty for tripping Dallas forward Joe Pavelski at the 30-second mark.
The 25-year-old Marner joined Patrick Kane, Sidney Crosby and Paul Stastny as the only active players in the NHL to put together a points streak of 20 games or more.
"Those are some pretty amazing names," Marner said. "Like I've been saying to you guys this whole time, it's not a one-man effort out there. It's a lot of work from these guys around me and it's been really fun in this streak that we've been winning games as well."
Marner and the Maple Leafs defeated the Dallas Stars 4-0 on Tuesday. The Thornhill, Ontario native has nine goals and 17 assists during his 20-game run and he has recorded a point in 25 of the 27 games the forward has played in this season. He eclipsed the original record of 18 games on Saturday in a two-goal performance against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
"It's been a lot of fun for us to watch," Auston Matthews said of Marner's play. "He's been driving the bus for us."
