His first-period goal against the Islanders extended his points streak to 12 games, which is second in franchise history for a defenseman behind Steve Duchesne's 15 in the 1992-93 season.

"Cale is always a stud," teammate Nathan MacKinnon said. "He's been setting up a lot of guys. It was nice to see him score a few tonight."
