While Marner's streak is impressive in and of itself, what's also impressive is how he is only one of five players to reach a 20-game or more point streak in the last 25 NHL seasons.
As seen above, Marner is the first player to reach this milestone since the 2015-16 season. Now at 20 games, he's just ten games behind Mats Sundin's record of a 30-game point streak set in the 1992-1993 season with the Quebec Nordiques. Four years before Marner was even born.
Although ten games might be a stretch, I don't think Marner's point streak is over just yet. It's not out of the realm of possibility that he can go 6 more and tie Patrick Kane's 26-game point streak from the aforementioned 2015-16 season.
