  15D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Tavares scored his 16th and 17th goals of the season in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Sharks. One of Tavares' goals was scored on the power play. The 28-year-old's other marker came on a wild sequence that saw Mitch Marner pick up a crazy assist, feeding Tavares for a tap-in goal only after fetching a new stick from the bench in the middle of the rush. Meanwhile, Toronto's big summer signing this past offseason now has 30 points in 26 games.

  22D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Tavares delivered an unassisted goal in Wednesday's 5-2 road loss to the Hurricanes. Veteran Justin Williams committed a giveaway in the neutral zone, with Tavares intercepting the pass and ultimately bulging twine for his 14th goal of the season. Toronto's clear-cut No. 1 center with Auston Matthews (shoulder) out of commission, Tavares ranks ninth in scoring with 14 goals and 12 helpers over 22 games, but there are actually 20 skaters across the league working at a better points-per-game pace than the ex-Islander and his still-stellar 1.18 rate.
