DETROIT – At 23-years-old, center Riley Sheahan is still in the early stages of his career but posting career highs in goals, assists and points during his first full season in the NHL is a promising sign of things to come.
Appearing in 79 games, Sheahan tallied 13 goals – four more than his previous career high – and has shown signs of developing into a surprising goal scorer.
A big-bodied forward at 6-foot-3 and 222 pounds, Sheahan was brought in to be a physical presence and pester opposing teams by being heavy on the puck.
