<p>Brought to you by <a href="https://www.sobeys.com/en/nhl/">Sobeys</a>, we offered up a full game recap. The McMann-Tavares-Nylander line was electric combining for five goals and 10 points. Both Tavares and Nylander notched four-point nights (two goals, two helpers). Tavares, who has 10 goals in his past 13 outings, is now just 12 goals shy of 500 for his career. Meantime, Nylander hit the 40-goal plateau for the third straight season. Without question, he’s been Toronto’s best player this season. That contract’s looking mighty fine, folks.</p>
