John Tavares is more than just a goal-scorer.

The New York Islanders captain flipped a terrific no-look backhand pass to a trailing Ryan Strome, who beat Detroit Red Wings goaltender Jimmy Howard to give the Islanders a 4-1 lead in the third period Monday afternoon.

Strome picked up his second point of the game after assisting on Brock Nelson's marker that opened the scoring in the second period.

Tavares now has 21 goals and 25 assists in 52 games.
