Penguins fill annual quota with 7th straight win

The Pittsburgh Penguins have sure treated their fans, haven't they?

With their 4-3 triumph over the Boston Bruins in overtime on Wednesday night, the Penguins fashioned a winning streak of at least seven games for the 10th consecutive season, according to NHL Public Relations.

They are the first franchise in history to accomplish the feat, according to Jason Kay via the Elias Sports Bureau.

Sidney Crosby was a second-year professional, and Evgeni Malkin a rookie, back in 2006-07 - the last time the Penguins failed to go on a seven-game run.

They would, however, have two six-game win streaks in the month of January alone that season, collecting points in 16 straight games.

Pittsburgh will aim for eight in a row, and match its longest win streak from last year, with a victory Friday over the Los Angeles Kings.
