“I’m excited to have the puck a lot tonight and have a lot of possession, try to get to the net and look for second and third opportunities,” Larkin said. 

The 19-year-old Larkin came into the game with 11 points in 17 contests. This ranked sixth amongst first-year players. He was also a plus-11 before the game, tops amongst rookies. That goal was his fifth of the season. The Red Wings selected Larkin with the 15th overall pick in the 2014 NHL Draft.
