DYLAN LARKIN

Ondrej Palat scored with 2:17 left in overtime, lifting the Tampa Bay Lightning to a 7-6 comeback win over the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night.

The Detroit Red Wings have been mired in a long, painful rebuild and the end doesn't seem to be in sight from outside the organization. The last time they made the playoffs five years ago, Dylan Larkin was a rookie. “It’s exciting, more so than any of my training camps in the past," Larkin said.

The first 44 games this season were played with the “tracking” pucks that players and coaches could tell were a little off.
