Lost in all the post-lockout chaos are nights like tonight. History was made on February 7, 1976 when Leafs’ captain Darryl Sittler set a record with 10 points against the Bruins. He scored six goals and four assists for Toronto at historic Maple Leaf Gardens. That included the classic 10th point off a Boston defenseman.

Last year, Sam Gagner became the first player since Mario Lemieux to record at least eight points in a game. It took 23 years. The Oiler center has continued to perform since on a rebuilding club that boasts Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle and rookie sensation Nail Yakupov. His eight-point explosion came nearly 36 years to the day of Sittler’s NHL record. A list which includes Wayne Gretzky, Super Mario, Rocket Richard and Bryan Trottier.

Paul Coffey, Anton and Paul Stastny, Bernie Nicholls, Patrik Sundstrom, Tom Bladon and Bert Olmstead comprise the other seven.
