the NHL this season. His streak marks the ninth double-digit point streak in club history and first since 2019-20, and is tied for the longest active point
streak this season. He produced a five-game multi-point streak from Feb. 16-Feb. 24 (1-9-10), tied for the third-longest multi-point streak by a Panthers
