3 most impressive Detroit Red Wings players from win over Seattle Kraken

#3 Patrick Kane

Patrick Kane has turned into an ageless wonder for the Detroit Red Wings this season. Kane has had a resurgent season, dispelling any concerns about his age and ability to contribute to Detroit’s top six. Kane notched two points (1G, 1A) on the night in over 16 minutes of ice time.

Kane ended the game with a plus-1 and registered three shots on goal. He’s registered 27 points in 37 games this season, showing he’s a highly effective player when healthy.

#2 Cam Talbot

Detroit Red Wings netminder Cam Talbot had a solid game against Seattle on Sunday. He made 31 saves en route to the win. He stopped 28 shots at even strength and made three big saves while shorthanded.

Overall, Talbot looked solid, giving his team the confidence to play aggressively in front of him. That confidence led to the Red Wings building up a six-goal lead. While the Kraken made a brief comeback attempt, the Red Wings shut the door, locking the game down in the third period.

With the win, Talbot is now 10-9-2 this season with a 3.03 GAA and a .903 SV%. His numbers have steadily improved after a rough start to this campaign.

#1 Dylan Larkin

The Red Wings captain had a strong game on Sunday, registering a goal and an assist in over 17 minutes of ice time. Only Lucas Raymond logged more ice time against the Kraken, playing 13 seconds longer.

On the whole, Larkin was impressive, notching three shots on goal while scoring a power play tally. He logged 3:38 of ice time with the man advantage and 15 seconds shorthanded. He also went 14-6 in the faceoff circle, clearly leading the team in that regard.

Larkin’s strong performance bodes well as the Red Wings continue their turnaround this season after hiring coach Todd McLellan. The team will be counting on Larkin to lead the way, as the Wings hope to get back into playoff contention.

The Red Wings will have a day off on Monday before taking on the San Jose Sharks at home on Tuesday night.
