Maybe Tomas Tatar just really wanted to hit that 20-goal mark.

That certainly seems to be the case, as the Detroit Red Wings winger wasted no time in netting the two tallies needed to reach the 20-goal plateau on Saturday, potting back-to-back scores against the Colorado Avalanche in a span of 1:36.

First came the above finish off of a feed from Luke Glendening, which gave Detroit a 2-1 lead early in the third period. Tatar broke in for another soon after, opening up a two-goal lead against the ever-stumbling Avalanche.

Tatar has now posted 20 goals or more in three straight campaigns.
