John Tavares Returns To Toronto Maple Leafs Lineup And Top Power-Play

Toronto Maple Leafs center John Tavares returns to the lineup against the Utah Mammoth after missing Saturday's game due to the birth of his fourth child, Tucker. Tavares slots back in centering the second line between Easton Cowan and William Nylander and reclaims his net-front spot on the top power-play unit from rookie Gavin McKenna. In five games this season, Tavares has recorded one goal and three points. Head coach Jim Hiller cited Tavares's great career and goal-scoring pedigree.
