""Yeah, he certainly made me a lot better pro," Jake McCabe said of Tavares post-game. "Just being around him, watching him, how he goes through his process. It's quite impressive. We always talk about it, but, man, Mr. Steady every single year. And to have that in your room as a leader is super crucial for our team and we certainly don't take it for granted.""
"John Tavares scored the overtime winner for the Toronto Maple Leafs, steering his team to a 4-3 overtime victory over the Buffalo Sabres. Tavares notched the 499th goal of his career, capping off an excellent performance where he was arguably the team's best player. Nick Robertson recorded his first goal of the season, Dakota Joshua scored for the second consecutive game, while Matias Maccelli also notched his second goal of the season in the winning effort."
"John Tavares was Toronto's best player on Saturday afternoon, so it's fitting that he walked it off in overtime, beating Sabres goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen cleanly on a breakaway in overtime. Tavares was sprung by Matthew Knies and made no mistake roofing it into the corner. The 35-year-old has been a prodigy since his teenage years, and now he's on the verge of his 500th career goal, which will surely be celebrated by the entire Maple Leafs' organization."
John Tavares scored the overtime winner to lift the Toronto Maple Leafs to a 4-3 victory over the Buffalo Sabres, reaching 499 career goals.

Cayden Primeau stopped 23 of 26 shots in goal for Toronto. William Nylander was a late scratch with a lower-body injury, and head coach Craig Berube expressed hope Nylander will be available for the next game against Calgary.
