Maple Leafs' John Tavares: Offense slowing, but getting goals

Tavares scored a goal in a 3-2 win over Montreal on Saturday.

Tavares scored the go-ahead goal with 6:46 remaining in the third period. He punched the puck over the goal line from the left edge of the crease after battling for position with Tanner Pearson. It was Tavares' 20th goal of the season, which marks the 14th time in 15 seasons that he's hit that plateau. He came out of the blocks fast after the All-Star break, picking up five points in two games, but Tavares only has five goals and six points over the past 13 outings. The goals are great, but at his current pace, he'll deliver the lowest point total of his career outside the COVID-19-shortened season and an injury-shortened campaign with the Islanders.
