Tavares scored a goal in a 5-0 win over Vancouver on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Tavares was reunited with William Nylander, who had missed six games to injury. Willie read the play, knocked the puck down at the offensive blue line and fed JT, who skated in alone and roofed a shot over Kevin Lankinen's glove. Tavares has scuffled to snipe lately. He's scored a lot of goals off passes from Nylander, so his return could juice Tavares' totals.

Tavares picked up an assist in a 2-1 overtime victory over Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Tavares set up Easton Cowan's first career game-winner on a 2-on-1 rush in OT. JT has put up points in seven of his last eight games (one goal, seven assists), and he has 13 shots in that span. But he has just three goals in his last 22 games (three goals, nine assists). Tavares has strong numbers overall (15 goals, 24 assists; 43 games), but this stretch is concerning. He's 35 years old, and at some point, the nature of a guy's game changes with age.

Tavares put up an assist Thursday in a 6-5 win over Winnipeg.
EDGE Analysis
Tavares extended his point streak to five games (six points; one goal, five assists). He's on pace to deliver a 30-goal, 75-point season with about 215 shots. Tavares hasn't put up many points on the power play (two goals, three assists) because the entire team has struggled there. So, the recent assistant coaching change could add a boost to that total.

Tavares scored an empty-net goal in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
The Leafs shuffled their stars on PP1, and the move seemed to yield early results even if Tavares didn't see any results -- the team did, and that's the first step for this struggling squad. Tavares has three points, including two goals, and eight shots in his last four games. But in 16 games since Nov. 22, he's put up just three goals and three assists. Tavares is unplayable if this continues. Hope isn't a strategy, but let's throw some at JT in case it helps change his results.

Tavares got a goal Saturday in a 5-3 loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
It was a fluke -- a point shot hit his skate, ricocheted off Roman Josi and beat Jusse Saros. It was his first goal in eight games (one assist), and second in his last 13 (two assists). And still, Tavares has 31 points, including 14 goals, in 34 games this season. He's caught in an Arctic air mass; rely on his numbers and not his name right now. Tavares needs to be on your bench until El Nino warms him up.
