What It Means:

The Islanders' superstar also had an assist, giving him nine goals and eight assists on the season. Tavares had a two-goal game last week, as well. Tavares wasn't the only Islander to register a multi-point game against the Coyotes. Kyle Okposo registered his 10th, 11th and 12th assists of the season. Brock Nelson notched his sixth goal and sixth assist. Frans Nielsen had his eighth goal and sixth assist. Steve Bernier also scored a goal for the Isles, his first of the season.

Tavares has tallied over a point per game in each of the past two seasons. He's on pace to do it again, racking up 17 points in the first 16 games of the season. We project him to record 62 points over the final 63 games.
