Mitch Marner Breaks Toronto Maple Leafs Franchise Record
Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner has been having an amazing season so far and it just so happens that he is breaking records for the franchise.
Mitch Marner is currently leading the Toronto Maple Leafs in points this season with 62 in 46 games.
He's on a torrid pace and he even set up two beauties last night as the Leafs defeated the New Jersey Devils to break a three-game losing streak.
Mitch Marner surpasses Darryl Sittler
What made his first assist so special, however, is the fact that it broke a longstanding Toronto Maple Leafs franchise record.
Marner notched his 700th NHL point and he did it 622 games. This surpassed Darryl Sittler who hit the same amount of points in 666 games.
However, Marner may only hold the record for a little while, as his teammate, linemate, and good friend Auston Matthews is slated to eventually surpass him, as he currently sits with 683 points in just 593 games.
According to Leafs Latest, Auston Matthews is likely to break the record all over again, and he may just do it this season.
He currently has 683 points and has played in 593 games which means he needs to score 17 points in 29 games to achieve the record.
Unless Matthews goes on an unprecedented cold streak, it is very likely that he will break the record before the end of the season.
Either way, Mitch Marner has etched his name into the Maple Leafs history books and that is something worth celebrating.
Hopefully, he continues to shine as a member of the Maple Leafs and hopefully, he does in the postseason.
