Tavares scored a goal in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Senators in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
It was his third goal (five points) in four games this postseason. Tavares is building on his 34-goal, 74-point season, and he will reap the benefits this offseason as a free agent. But before then, Toronto will reap the benefits as they strive toward hoisting the Cup in June.

Tavares scored a goal on six shots, added an assist and logged three hits in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Senators in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
Tavares' power-play goal at 4:07 of the second period stood as the game-winner. He also set up a William Nylander tally a few minutes later. Tavares was resurgent on offense with 38 goals and 74 points over 75 regular-season outings, though he was a little quieter with five points over eight games to begin April. He'll spend the bulk of his time on the second line while also playing on the first power-play unit, putting him in a good position to rack up points.

Tavares scored a goal on three shots and won 13 of 18 faceoffs in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis

For the season, the veteran center is at 36 goals, 70 points, 180 shots on net, 84 hits, 40 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating across 68 contests. Tavares is hot enough lately to take a run at the 40-goal mark by the end of the regular season.

Tavares scored twice Saturday in a 3-1 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Both goals came in the third period. Tavares has eight snipes during a five-game goal streak and 11 points during a six-game point spree. He put the Maple Leafs up 2-1 on a four-on-three power play when he swept in a rebound from the right post. His second went into the empty net. Tavares has been excellent since the 4 Nations break, and that bodes well for fantasy managers in the playoffs and his team as Toronto heads toward the NHL postseason.

Tavares scored a goal on two shots, added a power-play assist and logged two hits in Thursday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Tavares extended his point streak to five games (six goals, five assists) with this performance.

Tavares is up to 33 goals and 67 points in just 65 outings this season, surpassing his 65-point effort from 80 games in the regular season in 2023-24. The center has added 172 shots on net, 82 hits, 39 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating in 2024-25.

Tavares scored two goals and added two assists in a 7-2 win over the Flyers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
He fired four shots and finished plus-3. Tavares has put up goals in three straight games (five) and points in four consecutive (nine), and he has 12 shots in that span. This may have been his best game of the season. Tavares has 32 goals, 33 assists and 168 shots in 64 games, and he's put up 80 hits, too. His 18.1 shooting percentage is significantly higher than his 13.1 average, so some of this is a mirage. But none of that matters right now -- Tavares is doing the job for you this fantasy postseason.

Tavares is on a three-game, five-point scoring streak that includes three goals.
