Homegrown Dylan Larkin makes impact, Wings' next star?

He came from nowhere fast, a blur ripping across the ice, from the edge of the right face-off circle to a spot behind the net. Once there, Dylan Larkin swiped the puck from a defenseman, then squirted out toward the left corner. What happened next? A spin, a no-look centering pass, a goal. But really, what we're talking about here isn't a way to catalog a scoring chance. We're talking about something more kinetic. We're talking about the movement of the most electric hockey player to come out of this region in years. Here was a sequence built on speed, anticipation, photographic memory, touch and vision.
