We can probably stop calling it a return to the Islanders for JT after nine times, but we can definitely say it’s Tavares’ 300th game a Maple Leafs, who also celebrated his 400th career goal last week. In those 299 games, JT has 129 goals and 297 points for the Leafs, approximately a point per game. Johnny’s always Johnny.

> Mathew Barzal on John Tavares: "One of the most focused guys I’ve ever seen ... He definitely is a poster boy for recovery & working hard ... He's always authentic. You get Johnny at all times. Johnny's always Johnny"
