DETROIT – As the Red Wings returned to practice Monday following a six-day break, Dylan Larkin was still soaking in his All-Star weekend experience – one that included him breaking the NHL’s 20-year record as the fastest skater on Saturday night.
“It was just a cool thing,” Larkin said following the Red Wings practice Monday afternoon. “I didn’t feel that I didn’t belong, but I felt like a kid, I guess. It was cool and just to break the record … I didn’t see that coming, I didn’t even know what it was. I just tried to skate as fast I could so it was just cool to break the record and see the response from the guys.
