Tatar dished out a secondary assist in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Tatar seems to be a beneficiary of Thomas Vanek moving to the Panthers at last week's deadline. He's picked up a goal and an assist in three games since that transpired, averaging just over 18 minutes per contest; his output on the year is 16:49. Tatar himself was subjected to rampant trade speculation, but even though he remains in Detroit, he'll have a chance to renegotiate his contract as a restricted free agent this summer. The 26-year-old is cashing in the balance of a three-year, $8.25 million deal.
