Detroit – Is something brewing?
Are the Red Wings on the verge of a breakthrough season the nobody could have predicted?
The Wings defeated the powerful Toronto Maple Leafs 5-4 in overtime on Thursday night, on Dylan Larkin’s breakaway goal.
That has contributed to the growing confidence and optimism surrounding these Wings. With each victory – and a largely mediocre Eastern Conference – the future suddenly looks intriguing.
“We’re a pretty good team in here ourselves,” said forward Gustav Nyquist, who found Larkin on the goal, and had a goal and two assists against the Leafs.
