When the Dallas Stars host the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday night, there is no way to escape the primary story line. Mitch Marner comes in carrying a 19 game point streak, with a total of seven goals and seventeen assists over the length of the streak.
Jason Robertson’s 18 game point streak is perhaps more impressive, with twenty-one goals and thirteen assists. Marner’s streak is the longest in the history of an original six franchise, whereas Robertson’s is the longest for the Stars franchise since it moved to Dallas.
It’s hard to separate Robertson’s streak from the extended high level play of his entire line.
