New York Islanders Need Tavares To Step Up

In their last three games, the New York Islanders have lost by a score of 6-3. Scoring a single goal in each. None came from their captain John Tavares.

In fact, Tavares doesn’t have a point in any of those three games. You have to go back to that 6-2 thrashing of the Winnipeg Jets for Tavares’ last point.

Tavares is having a bad year. We can all agree to that, right? His .69 points per game is his lowest since his rookie year in 2009-10. We’re talking about a point-per-game player who is floating dangerously close to half of that production.
