The New York Islanders captain scored a sensational goal in the first period of Doug Weight's first game as the Islanders' new interim head coach on Thursday night.
Tavares put the puck between the legs of Dallas Stars defenseman John Klingberg before lifting a shot over Kari Lehtonen, giving his club a 1-0 lead - surely a delight to the new bench boss.
