Maple Leafs' John Tavares: Three-point effort in loss

Tavares registered one goal and two assists in the 4-3 road loss to the Flyers on Tuesday.

After being down 3-0 going into the third period, Tavares tried to will his team to a comeback victory by contributing on all three of the Maple Leafs' goals. The 33-year old captain scored the final goal of the game, his 22nd of the season, but Toronto could not get another to tie it up. This was Tavares' second multi-point game in a row, scoring two goals and adding three assists over that span. While his point production might be lower this season -- he has 51 points in 65 games -- his recent performance shows he's still capable of providing plenty of offensive production.
