1990: Wayne Gretzky of the Los Angeles Kings sets an NHL record by reaching 100 points for the 11th consecutive season. The milestone comes when Gretzky gets an assist in a 5-2 win against the New Jersey Devils at the Forum in Inglewood, California. It's his second 100-point season with the Kings after he reaches triple figures in each of his nine seasons with the Edmonton Oilers.

A few hours earlier, Mario Lemieux of the Pittsburgh Penguins extends his point streak to 40 games, the second-longest in NHL history, when he assists on all three goals by Tony Tanti in a 6-3 loss to the visiting Philadelphia Flyers. Lemieux passes Gretzky's 39-game streak from the 1985-86 season, though he still trails Gretzky's 51-game streak set in 1983-84.
