TORONTO — Jimmy Howard smiled as he walked by Dylan Larkin and said, “called it.”
Larkin had just scored in overtime to defeat the Toronto Maple Leafs, two nights after the Detroit Red Wings had banked one point against Tampa Bay, and five nights after the Wings had beaten Boston. While the organization could use the high-end draft pick that comes with being in the NHL draft lottery, the team is having fun finding ways to win and doing so for one another.
