Tavares extended his point streak to 6 games, (8G, 5A).
Tavares joins Nylander with 35+ goals on the season. It's the fourth straight season that the Leafs have multiple players with 35 goals or more in a season. Toronto is the only team to do that since the Kings and Penguins had runs ended in 1993-94.
