Maple Leafs captain John Tavares notched a major career milestone on Monday night, recording a game-tying assist against the Islanders, which represented his 1,000th point in the NHL.
Tavares becomes the 98th player in league history with 1,000 points, and he achieved the feat against his former team, having spent the first nine years of his career on Long Island.
Islanders fans still don’t seem to have forgiven the 33-year-old for bolting for Toronto after the 2017-18 season, and they showered him with boos upon realizing he was credited with an assist on Morgan Rielly’s late equalizing goal.
