Former number one overall draft pick John Tavares certainly has a lot of offensive upside, and his skills were on display yesterday evening when he received a backhand pass from teammate P.A. Parenteau and then went on to dangle around two St. Louis defenseman before chipping a backhand past goaltender Ben Bishop. Tavares currently leads the Islanders with 55 points, including 24 goals.
The Islanders went on to win the contest by a score of 5-2. Check out a video of the goal below:
