Maple Leafs' John Tavares: Twelfth hat trick of career
Tavares scored a hat trick Monday in a 6-4 win over Winnipeg.
It was his fourth hattie as a Leaf and 12th of his career, and his first goal was NHL point No. 1,047 for him, passing Henri Richard for 79th in NHL history. Tavares has taken a lot of heat from fans and Toronto media for his visible drop in foot speed and productivity, but this was a statement game for the former captain, who's riding a five-game, seven-point streak (three goals, four assists). Tavares centered Max Pacioretty and William Nylander on the second line and the trio looked sharp Monday. That's a hopeful sign for the Leafs and fantasy managers.

Maple Leafs' John Tavares: Registers first helper
Tavares logged an assist, four shots on goal and two PIM in Monday's 5-2 win over the Lightning.
Tavares' 16:32 of ice time was his highest mark since he saw 18:48 on Opening Night. The 34-year-old has three points, 15 shots on net, four hits, four PIM and a minus-2 rating over five appearances this season. Tavares has often centered the third line at even strength, but a spot on the top power-play unit should keep his offense at a viable level for fantasy managers.

Maple Leafs' John Tavares: Free to snipe
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. The former captain has come into 2024-25 looking freer and lighter, perhaps because he's no longer carrying the weight of the C on his jersey. Tavares, who put up 65 points in 80 games last season, could rebound to the mid-70s with this reduced pressure.

The 34-year-old center had 29 goals and 36 assists in 80 regular-season games with the Maple Leafs in 2023-24. Tavares will occupy a top-six role and see time on the first power-play unit during the 2024-25 campaign.

Maple Leafs' John Tavares: Labeled day-to-day
Tavares is dealing with a lower-body injury and will not skate Friday as a result.
Tavares took a hit from Montreal's Michael Pezzetta in Thursday's preseason contest, which has given the former an injury designation. Tavares returned to the game after taking the hit and even scored a goal -- this could be a sign that the injury is not overly serious, but more of a precautionary move by the team. Expect an update on the status of the 34-year-old ahead of Saturday's rematch versus Montreal.

Maple Leafs' John Tavares: Snags 27th goal of season
Tavares scored his 27th goal of the season Saturday in a 5-4 overtime loss to Detroit.
Tavares has three goals in his last two games after putting up just one in his previous 10. His overall production has dropped off a bit (63 points in 78 games), but those 27 goals are right in line with his other seasons in Toronto. Tavares' shooting percentage (9.9) is well below his career mark of 12.8, so that bears watching heading into 2024-25, but he'll also be 34 years old by the start of next season and may have lost a step.

Maple Leafs' John Tavares: First goals in six games
Tavares scored twice in a 6-5 loss to the Devils on Thursday.
Tavares scored 18 seconds into the first period when he took a pass from Mitchell Marner in the slot and cut around Luke Hughes in the left circle to beat Jake Allen with a wrister as the goaltender fell to his knees. Tavares tied the game 5-5 late in the third with a wrist shot from the top of the crease. Tavares snapped a five-game goal drought with the snipes, which pushed his season mark to 26. He has delivered at least 24 goals in every season of his career except the pandemic-shortened 2020-21 campaign.

William Nylander threaded a backhand pass to Tavares inside the blue line, and Tavares drove to the high slot, where he ripped a wrist shot past Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen early in the first period.

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.
