Where Mitch Marner's points streak ranks in Leafs, NHL history

Less than two months into the 2022-23 season, forward Mitch Marner stands as one of the hottest skaters in the National Hockey League, particularly since the end of October.

Despite enduring a modest start, posting one goal and five points across his first seven games, Marner has been red-hot since an overtime loss in San Jose on Oct. 27, marking the start of his historic point streak. He also registered his first multi-point performance of the season that night.

The Toronto Maple Leafs winger has since rattled off a 23-game point streak - the longest active streak in the league - which he extended Wednesday night versus the Anaheim Ducks.

Marner isn’t a stranger to enjoying prolonged point streaks, especially at this stage of his career, as he posted at least a point in 13 consecutive games last season. But the 25-year-old has never experienced one that has spanned over a month.

With that in mind, let’s explore where the two-time All-Star’s hot streak ranks among the legends in Maple Leafs/St. Patricks' franchise history and the NHL’s recent history, too.
