Tavares scored a goal and added an assist Saturday in a 5-4 shootout loss to Carolina.
Tavares may not have great foot speed, but he managed to break in all alone on Pyotr Kochetkov after taking a stretch pass from T.J. Brodie, and he went roof. Tavares also delivered a perfect one-timer set-up to Nick Robertson in the middle frame. His scoring pace has slowed this season, and it was his first multi-point performance in 11 games, but the Toronto captain remains a reliable offensive producer. He only needs two more points for his 14th 50-point campaign.
