John Tavares scored his 400th goal and the Toronto Maple Leafs raced by the Penguins 5-2 on Tuesday night! MORE:
Tavares added an assist on the night he became the 107th player in NHL history to reach 400 goals. The 14-year veteran beat Casey DeSmith from the slot 12:04 into the first period, part of an early surge by the Maple Leafs that pushed them to their fifth win in seven games.
Michael Bunting had two goals and an assist for Toronto. Mitchell Marner extended his points streak to 10 games with his fourth goal of the season. William Nylander added an empty-net goal to seal it. DeSmith stopped 28 shots and had little help in front of him on a night Toronto had little trouble finding open space, sometimes right in front of the Pittsburgh net.
Toronto's other two goals came with players basically unchecked in the slot. Tavares briefly found himself unguarded high in the slot in the first period and Crosby closed too late. Bunting's first goal came on a 2-on-1 just 11 seconds into the second period as the Penguins briefly found themselves on their heels.
