Tavares supplied a power-play assist in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
As he often does, Tavares found Mitch Marner for a textbook one-timer, which held up as the game-winning tally. Tavares was held without a point in three straight games leading up to Thursday's clash with the Flyers, but it was only a matter of time before the venerable pivot reverted to his playmaking ways. Overall, the future Hall of Famer is performing as expected with 14 goals and 17 helpers through 34 games.

Tavares scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Tavares broke a 1-1 tie with his tally at 8:24 of the third period. The center has already picked up four goals and one assist through the first three games in November. He's at eight tallies, seven helpers, 47 shots, 14 hits and a minus-2 rating in 13 contests overall. With plenty of power-play time and a second-line role at even strength, Tavares' offense is right where it should be early in 2022-23.
