Amid whispers of a career downswing, Toronto Maple Leafs captain John Tavares quieted his critics in a 5-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday night. 

Tavares posted a four-point night in the victory, including his 11th career hat trick. 

Past the midway point of the third period, with the Leafs leading by just a goal, Tavares scored a filthy highlight-reel goal, helping Toronto pull away.
