It's been a decade since the Detroit Red Wings last had a player reach 30 goals.
While it won’t mean much for this season, it’s good for the organization’s future that two guys might hit the mark over the final 10 games.
Andreas Athanasiou reached 26 after delivering his sixth two-goal performance of the season in Saturday’s 2-1 victory over the New York Islanders at Little Caesars Arena. It took a stellar performance from Jonathan Bernier to secure the victory, but Athanasiou stood out for the way he played at both ends of the ice.
