Mason McTavish, who will turn 22 on Thursday, has had plenty of growing pains since being the No. 3 overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft, but it appears he's starting to come into his own. McTavish has five goals over his past three games entering Tuesday night's contest in Seattle against the Kraken.
