John Tavares scored his 499th NHL goal on a breakaway at 1:28 of overtime and the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Buffalo Sabres 4-3 on Saturday night to end a three-game losing streak
Former Maple Leafs forward Joe Thornton was thrilled to see Auston Matthews honor his Hall of Fame induction in Toronto.
Tavares became the 49th National Hockey Leaguer to the milestone, but it was a muted reaction from him and the Maple Leafs as it came late in a 6-3 loss at Nationwide Arena in Columbus. It’s back to the drawing board for Tavares and company after that awful back-to-back conclusion.
The Calgary Flames are 2-7-1 on the year, ranking 25th in goals-against per game, while the Toronto Maple Leafs rank 27th, giving up 3.67 per contest. That’s a combined average of 7.17 goals allowed, which far surpasses the 5.5 mark.
