How Thomas Vanek's leadership is impacting the Red Wings, especially Dylan Larkin. Filmed Jan. 15, 2019 in Detroit. Helene St. James, Detroit Free Press
The words resonated with Dylan Larkin, and he proved it by helping his Detroit Red Wings to a nascent winning streak, after a 3-1 win over the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday.
This is an interesting stretch for the Wings, who have two victories in a row for the first time in six weeks. The winning performances have come as younger and older players on the team have spoken up, fed up with hearing how they played well but came up short (which has happened often over the past month).
