The Detroit Red Wings need a better effort from Anthony Mantha on a nightly basis. Mantha who posted 24 goals and added 24 assists last season totaling 48 points was expected to take a step forward this season.
The big power forward thru 6 games this season has 3 points. He has one goal and a pair of helpers. Over the last two games combined, he has been a minus 6. In those games, he has failed to record 15 minutes of ice time.
Anthony Mantha needs to play 17-18 minutes a night; he is unable to produce offensively with any type of consistency recording fewer than 15 minutes of ice.
