Dylan Larkin's journey to career goal No. 100 took a little longer than expected.
Goals came on a regular basis last season, when the fifth-year Detroit Red Wings center scored a career-high 32 in 76 games. His milestone goal, which he delivered in a 4-1 loss to Florida on Saturday, was just his 12th this season and seventh in even-strength situations.
"When you first start out, you just want to score one," he said after Sunday's practice at Little Caesars Arena. "Every one is memorable. You never really think about that (100 goals) as an individual stat but it is an honor and something that I hope to keep going.
