John Tavares | Fantasy Outlook
Tavares brings high-floor scoring and PP1 upside into home tilt vs. Senators
John Tavares and the Maple Leafs host the Ottawa Senators tonight at Scotiabank Arena in an Atlantic Division matchup anticipated to be a higher-scoring environment. Toronto (1-1-0) enters as the home favorite, while Ottawa is slated to send Linus Ullmark (unconfirmed) between the pipes. The veteran center remains in a prime offensive spot, operating as the second-line center flanked by William Nylander and Gavin McKenna while centering Toronto’s top power-play unit alongside Auston Matthews. Tavares has registered one assist and five shots across his first two games this season, though a sharp dip in his start percentage down to 58% presents an intriguing lineup opportunity.
Our daily projection pegs Tavares for ~1 point with ~2–3 shots on goal and dangerous power-play involvement, translating to roughly 3.3 fantasy points. Facing a vulnerable opposing defense, he holds a good chance to score when anchored at the net front on PP1. This contest serves as the third and final matchup of Toronto’s three-game fantasy slate for the week, providing one last surge of weekly scoring and shot volume. With dependable ice time and elite linemates boosting his floor, he remains an excellent choice in standard formats. Today’s action: Strong Start.
