Wednesday FTB: John Tavares is the captain for a reason

And Canada vs USA highlights from last night

John Tavares scored his 400th career NHL goal last night, making him only the 107th player to do so. He also became the fifth to do it as a Leaf, along with Norm Ullman, Dave Andreychuk, Alexander Mogilny, and Mats Sundin. JT leads the Leafs in goals with nine after 17 games, ahead of Matthews and Nylander who have seven each.

Also from last night’s game, Mitch Marner hit a point streak of at least 10 games for the third time in his career. I didn’t know he was on one, but great! Mitch and Auston join Sundin and Babe Dye in that category.

Most point streaks of 10+ games, @MapleLeafs franchise history:

Darryl Sittler (6x; last: 18 GP in 1977-78)
Mitch Marner (3x)
Auston Matthews (3x)

With Murray back healthy (and playing well in his return to the net), the Leafs cap calculation has changed. There is still space to move around the buryable players with Muzzin out indefinitely, but it’s all just a little bit tight.

Here is Julian McKenzie with the story of the Matthew Tkachuk sign and trade.

Matthew Tkachuk called #Flames GM Brad Treliving and let him know the bad news on a Sunday morning.

It kicked off a week of trade talks, negotiations, and led to the league’s first ever sign and trade.

Here is how it happened.@TheAthleticNHLhttps://t.co/9CbGaqc7tU

The Bruins have a very official-looking independent review coming in. Let’s see if this very expensive pr band-aid yields any real takeaways or changes of policy for once.
