Despite a 4-3 shootout defeat, John Tavares' NHL debut was a special one. Tavares showed that all the hype was deserved with 1 Goal and 1 Assist. Tavares was also thwarted by Marc Andre Fleury on a breakaway but created offense every shift for the Islanders. It was a loss but it also was a look into the future for the Isles. JT has arrived.
Tavares finished with 22:05 of ice time, an even rating, 2 SOG and 9 of 19 in the faceoff circle.
