Maple Leafs' John Tavares: Six-game, nine-point streak
John Tavares picked up two assists Thursday in a 4-1 victory over the Kraken.Both assists came on William Nylander goals. Tavares has gotten hot fast after coach Craig Berube reunited him with Nylander on the second line. He has five points (three goals, two assists) in his last two games while skating with Nylander, and the assists stretched his point streak to six games (three goals, six assists). Tavares' deployment on line two makes him a strong fantasy option, as long as the Leafs don't trade for a second-line center.

Maple Leafs' John Tavares: Free to snipe
John Tavares scored his first goal of the season in Thursday's 4-2 win over New Jersey.Tavares broke in on Jacob Markstrom and scored from the slot on a nice touch feed from Max Domi.
