His overall production has dropped off a bit (63 points in 78 games), but those 27 goals are right in line with every other season in Toronto. Tavares' shooting percentage (9.9) is well below his career mark of 12.8, so that bears watching heading into 2024-25.

EDGE Analysis

JT may not have great foot speed, but he managed to break in all alone on Pyotr Kochetkov after taking a stretch pass from T.J. Brodie, and he went roof. Tavares also fed Nicholas Robertson with a perfect one-timer set-up in the middle frame. Yes, his scoring pace has slowed this season, and yes, it was his first multi-point game in 11 games. But Tavares was the heart and soul of the Leafs on Saturday. and that's how to quiet some of the detractors in Toronto.

Tavares scored the go-ahead goal with 6:46 remaining in the third period. He punched the puck over the goal line from the left edge of the crease after battling for position with Tanner Pearson. It was Tavares' 20th goal of the season, which marks the 14th time in 15 seasons that he's hit that plateau. He came out of the blocks fast after the All-Star break (five points in two games). But Tavares' game has tailed off offensively since with six points, including five goals, in his last 13 games. The goals are great, but at his current pace, he'll deliver the lowest point total of his career outside the COVID-19 shortened season and an injury year earlier on the island.

Tavares tallied late in the game to get Toronto on the board, but it wasn't enough to get a win as the Bruins took a 4-1 victory Monday.

EDGE Analysis

That's Tavares' 19th goal of the season and his fourth in the last seven games. He doesn't look like he'll come anywhere close to the 36-goal, 80-point campaign he posted last season. He's tied with Morgan Rielly for fourth on the team in points, but he's a long way back from Auston Matthews, William Nylander, and Mitchell Marner. It may be time to think of the team as having three dynamic forwards instead of four, at least until Tavares proves otherwise.
