Last night, Makar extended his latest point streak to 12 games, one of the longest such streaks of all-time for a defenseman aged 23 or younger.
As you can see from the above list however, Makar's latest feat is nothing to rave about for Bobby Orr fans. The Bruins blueliner not only had a 12-game point streak of his own before turning 23, but he did it THREE TIMES in the SAME SEASON!
Yes, you read that correctly. Bobby Orr was 22 years young during the 1970-71 season, a campaign in which he had impressive 12-, 16- and 18-game point streaks.
Orr finished that season with his best totals ever, winning both the Hart and Norris trophies thanks to 37 goals and 139 points in 78 games. He finished the season with an astonishing +124 differential.
