Video Of Day: John Tavares scores highlight reel goal to beat Devils


Our Video Of Day is Islanders captain John Tavares making the highlight reels with a beautiful overtime winner to beat the Devils 3-2 in Newark Friday night. Tavares also tied the game with 6:13 remaining when he got to a wide Kyle Okposo rebound and banked one in off Keith Kinkaid.

On the winner, Tavares made a very skilled play stripping Adam Larsson of the puck behind the net and then turned and quickly beat Kinkaid for his 19th unassisted at 3:05. His heroics helped the Islanders snap a two-game losing streak and move into sole possession of first in the Metro Division. The Isles are back in action tonight when they visit Columbus.
