Last Saturday, Clint Dempsey recorded his fifth assist of the season. It also allowed him at a chance to tie an MLS record on Saturday.
The USMNT captain has recorded a goal or an assist in all eight of his games this season. Going back to last season, Dempsey's regular-season streak sits at 10 games (he got on the scoresheet only in the last of Seattle's four playoff games last fall).
The top three players on the list all sit at 11 straight regular-season games with a goal or assist, and all three came during MLS' early years. This gives the Seattle Sounders star a shot at history on Saturday night when the Sounders take on Sporting Kansas City (10 pm ET; MLS LIVE).
Check out the players he is trying to catch in the table below.
| Most Consecutive Games with Goal/Assist in MLS Regular Season History | |||
| Player | Team | Streak | Dates |
| Roy Lassiter | D.C. United | 11 | 4/25/98-6/13/98 |
| Ronald Cerritos | San Jose Clash | 11 | 6/15/97-8/24/97 |
| Mauricio Cienfuegos | LA Galaxy | 11 | 9/7/97-5/17/98 |
| Clint Dempsey | Seattle Sounders | 10 | 10/19/14-present |
| Raul Diaz Arce | Colorado Rapids | 10 | 4/12/97-7/19/97 |
| Cobi Jones | LA Galaxy | 10 | 9/28/97-7/4/98 |
For more recent streaks, Seattle's Fredy Montero (2010) and the MetroStars' Amado Guevara (2004) both recorded nine-game streaks. If only considering streaks that were recorded in a single season, Dempsey can tie them on Saturday.
