made brief ap pearances while the Flames record was slipping to 13144 In his games with the Flames this season Unger has four goals and SIX assists and has not scored goal in the last 11 games In the final minute of Saturdays game Unger stood up on the Atlanta bench looking as though he was going to take at least one shift to keep the streak alive But Atlanta coach Al MacNeil pulled him back to his seat on the bench by tugging on the centres jersey Ungers streak started while he was member of the Maple Leafs He was traded to Detroit Red Wings on March 1968 and then dealt to St Louis on Feb
