Tavares had a monster Game 1, registering a goal, two assists -- one on the power play -- and three hits in a 5-4 win over Florida on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Dating back to the regular season, Tavares has found twine in five straight games. The 25-year-old picked up right where he left off, and after just one outing, the 2009 No. 1 pick has half of last year's point total in the playoffs. Expect continuous fireworks if Florida can't figure out how to slow him down.
