**Summary:**John Tavares, the captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs, is set to be honored for scoring his five hundredth career goal on November fifth. Despite the team's loss in the game where he scored the goal, Tavares' achievement is a rare milestone in NHL history, with only forty-eight other players reaching five hundred goals. He has scored two hundred and twenty-eight of those goals with the Maple Leafs and two hundred and seventy-two with his former team, the New York Islanders. Tavares also recently hit another significant milestone, recording his five hundredth point with the Maple Leafs, placing him in elite company alongside legends like Wayne Gretzky. Tonight, he will finally receive the recognition he deserves in front of his home crowd.
