The NHL Network is releasing its “Top 50 players right now” list, and Wednesday night’s #50-41 reveal includes someone who will probably be the Red Wings’ only participant:
42. Dylan Larkin, C, Detroit Red Wings
The Red Wings captain scored an NHL career-high 33 goals and had 36 assists in 68 games last season, the fourth time in his career he’s scored at least 30 goals. The 28-year-old averaged more than a point per game (1.01) for the first time in nine NHL seasons, scored his 200th NHL goal Jan. 27 and got his 500th point April 11.
There’s a 3:04 video included in the story, in which Stu Grimson talks about Larkin’s attributes, but I can’t embed it as NHL.com no longer allows you to embed videos.
