<p>The only thing missing from John Tavares’ milestone night at UBS Arena was a victory —but so be it.</p>
<p>They got a point, right?</p>
<p>Carter Hutton was in for Jay Rosehill on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9Pxt0R9Aqo">Tuesday edition of Leafs Morning Take</a>. Presented by Door Dash, The Appetizer primarily focused on the captain. Tavares notched a goal and an assist as the Leafs fell 4-3 in OT to the New York Islanders. Furthermore, the 33-year-old’s now 6-4-2 in 12 all-time outings against his former team. The moment had it all. Point No. 1000 was special. In case you missed it, Tavares tipped a point shot right onto the stick of Morgan Rielly who made no mistake to nod the game at 3 with just 6.4 seconds remaining in regulation. From the bench clearing to celebrate to Joe Tavares’ amazing reaction to Paul Marner’s stone cold face, the moment had a little of everything. Any way you slice it, Tavares deserves to be applauded. After all, it’s been a rough past week for Toronto sports fans.</p>

<p>Meantime, courtesy the <a href="https://dailyfaceoffsurvivor.com/">Wendy’s Daily Faceoff Survivor</a>, we previewed Tuesday’s tilt on Broadway versus the New York Rangers.

<p>In general, we talked a lot about Toronto’s crease on this episode, which made a lot of sense with Hutton being in the mix.
