The 21-year-old center is up to one goal, six assists, 18 shots on net, 14 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 12 contests this season.

McTavish has added 16 shots on net, 12 PIM, eight hits, seven blocked shots and a minus-2 rating this season. Despite his scoring struggles, he's spent a majority of the campaign in a top-six role.
