NHL Streaks
Hockey is a game of streaks. How many straight games have you earned a point? etc.
You want as many players that you can count to score or assist each and every game.
Currently, two players have 5+ games of at least one assist:
Sidney Crosby - 6 games, 8 assists, & Matt Carle, 5 games, 6 assists.

Comparatively, no one has scored in 5 straight games as of right now. However, there are several players with long points streaks, gaining at least one goal or assist in consecutive games.
Crosby and Carle obviously are also on this list b/c of having at least 5 straight assist games, but the difference? Crosby has 5 goals plus his 8 assists, while Carle has no goals.
Alex Pietrangelo (3 goals, 5 assists), Brad Boyes (3 goals, 4 assists), and Matt Beleskey (2 goals, 5 assists) also have 5 straight points games.
But the most surprising leader of consecutive points games?
Ondrej Palat, Rookie left winger of the Tampa Bay Lightning, with 4 goals and 6 assists in his last 8 games, garnering at least one point in each game.
