Toronto — Tomas Tatar didn’t seem overly bothered by it, being the regular season is only seven games old.

No need to stress, yet.

But in that seventh game Wednesday, a convincing 6-3 Toronto victory over the Red Wings, Tatar finally got into the goal-scoring column.

Tatar put back his own rebound in the second period past Toronto goalie Curtis McElhinney. Just like that, Tatar was on the scoresheet, after a quiet six games.

Always a streaky goal-scorer throughout his career, everyone concerned enjoyed the sight of Tatar scoring a goal — and hopeful the goal breaks open

“I wasn’t really too worried about it,” said Tatar, of the six-game stretch without a goal, noting the team was playing well and the offense had been dangerous.
