by from on (#2BDVZ)
John Tavares is New York Islanders royalty.
Scoring his 20th goal of the season Friday versus the Detroit Red Wings, the Brooklyn captain has now reached that total in eight straight campaigns.
Tavares is just the fourth Islanders player to pull off the feat since the franchise broke into the NHL in 1972. He joins past New York skaters Mike Bossy, Bryan Trottier, and Brent Sutter.
