 On February 7 , 1976 , Maple Leafs star Darryl Sittler set an NHL record , scoring 10 points in one game in an 11 – 4 victory over the Bruins . His six @-@ goal , four @-@ assist effort broke Maurice Richard 's record of eight points in a game . The game came shortly after the Bruins lured Gerry Cheevers back from the WHA , though Cheevers was given an extra night to rest , and rookie Dave Reece was the victim of all 11 Toronto goals . It was his 14th , and final , NHL game .
