John Tavares - Seven-game pointless skid Tavares was held off the score sheet Saturday in a 6-4 loss to Vancouver. Impact He fired six shots, but had nothing to show for it. Tavares is stuck at 34 points (12 goals, 22 assists), and there is growing concern that his game has dropped off. He's gone seven games without a point, despite firing 21 shots. Tavares started the season so well, so this run is concerning. He's on track to fire 300 shots for the first time in his career, and his shooting percentage is a measly 7.5 (12.8 career). We would hope there would be some reversion to the mean and those shots would start to go in more often. But the eye test on Tavares' game is pretty blurry right now. Start prepping a back-up plan for your fantasy postseason, just in case.
