Detroit — The Red Wings had four players reach and surpass the 30-goal milestone during the 2008-09 season.
Marian Hossa (40 goals), Johan Franzen (34), Pavel Datsyuk (32) and Henrik Zetterberg (31) all did it.
But no other Red Wing has done so since.
That sure seems like it’s about to change, though.
When you went to sleep late Monday night, Andreas Athanasiou scored his 29th goal and Dylan Larkin his 28th, as the Red Wings outplayed and defeated the playoff-bound San Jose Sharks 3-2.
With six games remaining on the schedule, and the way those two young forwards are playing, you have to like their chances of getting to 30.
