DobberHockey’s Tom Collins offers a list of 10 players who could hit the 50-goal mark this season, and he includes Alex DeBrincat among them:
In the 56-game covid season, DeBrincat hit the .62 goals per game mark, but didn’t hit 50 goals due to a lack of games. Aside from that year, he hit the 41-goal mark twice. Last year, it didn’t work out in Ottawa for DeBrincat as there were plenty of other options for goal-scoring. Now in Detroit, DeBrincat will be the main guy Detroit will lean on to score goals. Dylan Larkin had 32 goals last year to lead Detroit. Two other players had 20 goals, but one is now in Ottawa, and the other is 35-year-old David Perron. DeBrincat should be seeing an extra two minutes per night in Detroit, and if he has chemistry with anyone with the Red Wings, there should be an uptick in goals.
Continued; it would be great if DeBrincat hits 30 goals this upcoming season. The Red Wings need offense from wherever it can come, and they need a significant amount thereof.
