On Tuesday, January 27, the Toronto Maple Leafs will honour legend Darryl Sittler and the 50th anniversary of his historic 10-point game as the team faces off against the Buffalo Sabres at 7 p.m. ET at Scotiabank Arena. The celebratory game marks Sittler’s achievement in 1976 when he scored six goals and four assists at Maple Leafs Gardens against the Boston Bruins, an NHL record he holds to this day. To commemorate the golden anniversary, the Maple Leafs will integrate special experiences both on and off the ice that recognize this important moment in franchise history.
“Darryl’s 10-point night is one of the most extraordinary individual performances in the history of our game,” said Maple Leafs General Manager Brad Treliving. “Fifty years later, it still represents excellence, skill and the special place Darryl holds in this organization. We’re proud to celebrate this milestone with him and with Leafs Nation.”
“Fifty years ago, I would have never imagined the magnitude of this moment or how many people would have special memories and stories connected to this game. It was a milestone in my career, but in talking to fans over the years, it’s even more incredible to hear that it impacted so many for so many years,” said Sittler. “I was proud to break this record in a Maple Leafs uniform and continue to have this pride and gratitude today. Most of all, I’m thankful to the organization and its ownership, my teammates and fans for recognizing this anniversary and I look forward to celebrating together as Leafs Nation.”
