During the second period Saturday against the Boston Bruins, New York Islanders captain John Tavares hit a milestone by burying his 200th career goal past Tuukka Rask.

The 25-year-old forward jumped on a loose puck and quickly lifted it over Rask with a perfect backhand for his 26th goal of the season. He's scored at least 24 times in each of his seven NHL seasons.

Tavares should hit another milestone before the month ends, as he entered Saturday six games shy of 500.
