The Toronto Maple Leafs have moved veteran center John Tavares to the third line in an effort to give the long-time NHLer some lesser matchups from the opposition. After a hot start, Tavares hasn't been nearly as productive at the offensive end of the ice as he sits with a still-solid 40 points across 52 games on the season, a notable drop from the 80 points he notched in as many games a season ago. Although he has five points in five February games, Tavares struggled with just two goals and four points in 13 January contests. He figures to center the red-hot Bobby McMann and Nick Robertson on Wednesday in Arizona while Max Domi will retain his spot in between Tyler Bertuzzi and William Nylander on the second line.--Brenton Kemp
