Today is Sports History: Darryl Sittler

1976:  Darryl Sittler, the captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs, has 10 points on 6 goals and 4 assists, still the NHL record for most points in a single game.  Sittler was almost magical that night. 

His last goal came from behind the net.  Sittler was centering the puck, and it bounced off a Bruin defenseman into the cage.  The Leafs beat the Boston Bruins that night 11-4.  It was the last NHL game ever for Bruins net minder Dave Reece.
