With an assist on Ryan O' Reilly's first-period goal against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday night, Jack Eichel extended to his point streak to nine games.
The streak is now the longest by a Buffalo Sabres player since the 2009-10 season, when Tim Connolly recorded at least a point in 16 consecutive games.
Eichel has 12 points during his streak, which dates back to Feb. 14, and 41 points in 44 games on the year.
