Tavares gets payback vs. Pens: Sidney Crosby spoiled rookie John Tavares' NHL debut with the deciding shootout goal for the Pittsburgh Penguins in the New York Islanders' season-opening loss in October. Tavares got even against Crosby and the Penguins, scoring his first game-winning goal with 6:12 remaining in leading New York to a 3-2 victory on Friday. Tavares' rebound goal from the right post was his 10th goal of the season to cap an Islanders' two-goal rally in the final period. That marked the first time in 11 games New York won when trailing after two periods. "It's nice to contribute when it matters most but overall it was a great team effort," Tavares said. "It starts from everyone and to cash in there was a bonus."

Tavares' first goal in five games came off a good bounce after Brent Johnson stopped Freddy Meyers' point shot. The No. 1 overall pick in the draft was left open right outside the crease and buried the rebound chance for the win against the division rival. "It was bouncing and I wanted to make sure I got enough wood on it," Tavares said. "It's big to get a game like this. It's almost like a four-pointer." Crosby had 12 goals and 28 points through his first 26 career games. Tavares has 10 goals and 21 points through the same point and Crosby said the 19-year-old center has improved since the last time he opposed him. "From what I've seen, even from the first game, he's looked pretty comfortable out there," Crosby said. "It's a confidence thing. You have to believe the things you do will work." There is no doubt in our minds that Tavares can get to the same Fantasy status that Crosby has achieved in his career. Tavares is already a viable Fantasy start just weeks into his NHL career.

Thrills, spills mark season's quarter pole
Stars haven't been immune to the injury bug. Bad news, right? Wes Goldstein says that despite some bumps and bruises, the season has been thrilling through the first quarter.
|
| The excitement has been building since a packed house at the Bell Centre in Montreal erupted after John Tavares' name was called first overall in June's NHL draft. In fact, you could hear the cheers all the way back in Long Island, N.Y., where the Islanders were hosting a draft party. Tavares is now the face of a beleaguered franchise looking to right the ship. It's a tough burden for a teenager to handle, but if anyone has the skills to pull it off, Tavares is a strong candidate. The buzz has been building around Tavares since he broke Wayne Gretzky’s OHL scoring record in his second junior season -- scoring 72 goals in 62 games. Tavares had 215 goals and 218 assists in four OHL seasons and posted 100-plus points in his final three. Many analysts put him in the same class as Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin -- a talent you can build an organization around. Whether he has the same 100-point potential as a rookie is left to be seen. Some Fantasy owners will probably be scared off from Tavares Draft Day since 2008 No. 1 pick Steven Stamkos burned plenty last season, but unlike Stamkos, Tavares doesn't have to sit behind All-Stars like Vincent Lecavalier and Martin St. Louis. He should be a feature player in New York from Day 1 and will be a big-time Fantasy sleeper on Draft Day. (Updated 8/18/09) |
