John Tavares News: Ends drought with two goals

Tavares scored two goals, including one on the power play, in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss against the Panthers in Game 3. He also recorded six shots on goal, two hits and one blocked shot.

Tavares ended a four-game drought without a point by finding the back of the net in the first and second periods, but his contributions weren't enough to lift Toronto to what would've been a 3-0 series lead. The 34-year-old playmaker has five goals and seven points through nine appearances this playoffs while also racking up 29 shots, 12 hits and nine blocked shots. He's been deadly as a power-play threat, with four of his seven points (three goals, one helper) coming with the man advantage.
