Here are the players who can break the 40-goal season drought for the Red Wings
With the Detroit Red Wings looking to build on their offensive performance from last season, the question of who might next to score 40 goals is intriguing.
The last Red Wing to achieve this was Marian Hossa in the 2008-09 season. Here are a few players who could break this drought:
Dylan Larkin: Coming off a career-high 33 goals despite missing games, Larkin is well-positioned to reach 40 if he stays healthy throughout the season. His scoring pace from last year suggests he's close to breaking this barrier.
Patrick Kane: After joining the Red Wings mid-season and scoring 20 goals in 50 games, Kane's potential to score 40 goals is realistic. His previous experience with two 40-goal seasons indicates he could hit that mark again with a full season in Detroit.
Alex DeBrincat: Despite scoring 27 goals last season, DeBrincat has surpassed 40 goals in the past. A full off-season with the Red Wings could reignite his scoring prowess, particularly with a fresh connection with Kane.
Lucas Raymond: Lucas Raymond's upward trajectory is promising. After a career-high 31 goals last season, maintaining that level of play over a full season could see him break the 40-goal threshold.
These players can potentially end the Red Wings' 15-year drought of 40-goal scorers.
