Tyler Bertuzzi along with Andreas Athanasiou seemingly took a huge step forward last season for the Detroit Red Wings. Athanasiou was able to record 30 goals for the first time in his career. Star forward Dylan Larkin was able to elevate his game also achieving more than 30 goals.
The Wings hadn’t had a 30 or more goal scorer since 2009 when the team had four players reach the milestone. Marian Hossa led the way with 40, Henrik Zetterberg, Pavel Datsyuk, and Johan Franzen were all able to settle in the ’30s leading the Detroit Red Wings to their second consecutive finals appearances against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
