TORONTO — Darryl Sittler’s big night is set to get another nod.

The Toronto Maple Leafs will honour their former captain’s record 10-point game — almost 50 years later — when the club meets the Buffalo Sabres on Jan 27.

Sittler scored six goals and added four assists in Toronto’s 11-4 victory over the Boston Bruins on Feb. 7, 1976, at Maple Leaf Gardens.

Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving said in a press release the 10-point performance is “one of the most extraordinary individual performances in the history of our game.”

Sittler broke the record of eight points in a game previously held by Maurice Richard (1944) and Bert Olmstead (1954).
