The premier rookie talent in the NHL shared the same sheet of the ice Sunday at Anaheim's Honda Center.
Red Wings teammates Lucas Raymond and Moritz Seider, who have had a major hand in turning Detroit into a competitive team, were opposite Ducks forward Trevor Zegras for the first time.
Zegras has helped make the Ducks a surprise in the Western Conference. He is in the thick of the Calder Trophy (rookie of the year) discussion with Raymond and Seider.
Nearing the halfway point of the regular season, a strong case can be made for each young player.
