For those watching at home, Larkin’s won 3 draws already, 2 of which led to an immediate clear and he changed immediately. Shift lengths of 3 seconds and 7 seconds

At times this year, the Wings have been using Larkin just to win the draw. He’s had shorthanded shifts of 6 seconds, 6 seconds, and 14 seconds when they’ve been able to get a quick clear off his faceoff win

Coming into the game tonight, the Wings were the least penalized team in the league. They’re looking to correct that as fast as possible against the Sabres it seems

The Wings have thus far benefitted from taking the fewest penalties in the league (only 15 thus far), limiting their SH time but if that trend changes, Larkin’s PK time may have to go up in order for them to win SH faceoffs.

You’d ideally like to limit Larkin’s PK time and use more of Copp/Compher/Ras/Appleton in order to keep Larkin fresh toward the latter half of the season, particularly with the Olympics this year

One thing to watch - the Wings have won just 7 of 18 shorthanded faceoffs this year (38.9%).

- Dylan Larkin is 6/9 (66.7%)
- Rest of team is 1/9 (11.1%)

Clean faceoff wins are critical to killing time while shorthanded. Hopefully one of Copp/Compher/Ras can start winning draws or they try Kasper

Nice for the Lions to be playing a team that has penalties called for their infractions

The Red Wings are off to a roaring start, and Dylan Larkin is powering it

Larkin tied a career high with four points, while going head-to-head with Connor McDavid all night.

With Gibson’s assist today, both Wings’ goalies have picked up a point this season. That’s the fastest 2 goalies have picked up a point in Wings’ franchise history, narrowly edging out 07-08 when Hasek picked up a point in game 7 and Ozzie in game 8.

Nothing of substance happened that year right?
