John Tavares had two goals and an assist, all in the third period, as Oshawa fought back for a 6-4 win over Niagara in the Generals' OHL home opener Friday.
Goals by Tavares and Robert Kousal brought the Generals back from a 4-2 deficit and Kory Nagy scored the winner short-handed with 8:44 remaining.
Tavares added the clincher into an empty net, his fifth goal and ninth point in three games this season. Tavares has now been involved in 9 out of 13 goals scored by the Generals this season.
