It's his eighth season in the league but John Tavares is still finding new ways to score.
With a breakaway chance in the third period Thursday night Tavares collected his first career shorthanded goal.
The goal was his 225th of his career - after he dazzled early in the first period for his 17th of the season - but the only time in 553 games he has scored while down a man.

It would appear Tavares' special teams play is better suited for the power play, where he has scored 68 goals with the extra skater.
