Father Time has not slowed down Toronto Maple Leafs forward John Tavares.
Now in his 17th season, Tavares, who at 35 years of age is at a stage where players usually slow down, is off to a strong start, which this season has seen the former 2009 New York Islanders first overall pick score six goals along with 16 points in his first 13 games.
In what was a magical month of October, Tavares wrote another chapter in his Hall of Fame career when he accomplished two big milestones, starting on Saturday, October 18, when, during a 4-overtime loss at Scotiabank Arena against the Seattle Kraken, he scored two goals, which puts him in an exclusive club of hitting the 500-point plateau with two different teams.
