Mitch Marner potted a short-handed goal to open the scoring versus the Lightning on Saturday, giving him points in 19 straight games and the longest point streak in Maple Leafs history in the process.
With the Leafs down a man in the Lightning zone, Marner somehow eluded the Tampa defenders and found himself all alone in the high slot before David Kampf dished to No. 16 for a kneeling one-timer to grab the franchise record.

Marner scored in Toronto's win over the Sharks on Wednesday to give him points in 18 consecutive games and keep the streak alive, despite it coming down to the wire — missing a few shot attempts before finally depositing his eighth goal of the season into the empty net with just over a minute to go to tie the franchise record now formerly held by Darryl Sittler and Eddie Olczyk.
