Of note from Detroit Hockey Now’s Kevin Allen’s “The Daily”:
Detroit is now 16-5-2 under Todd McLellan. Since he took over on Dec. 26, the team is 12-0-1 if it scores first.
McLellan thought both Lucas Raymond and Dylan Larkin looked a bit weary in Sunday’s game, as a result of their participation in the 4 Nations Face-off.
Raymond is the first Red Wings player to record back-to-back 40-assist seasons since Larkin (from 2017-18-2018-19). Larkin tallied an assist on Alex DeBrincat’s power play goal Sunday, giving him 27 points (12-15-27) in 23 games since McLellan took over.
Larkin (323 career assists) is one assist away from tying Brendan Shanahan (324) for 12th place on Detroit’s all-time list.
