How good has Dylan Larkin been offensively this season?
To put it in perspective, Larkin's goal Saturday in Arizona was his ninth of the season.
Last season — and, yes, there were variables such as a shortened NHL season because of the pandemic and Larkin's injury late in the season that forced him to miss games — he scored all of nine goals in 44 games.
Larkin matched that mark Saturday in only his 16th game.
Talking in training camp, there was a determination and resolve in Larkin's voice to smash last season's meager offensive numbers.
He's accomplishing that, early on.
"He felt like he has more to offer and he has played really good this year when he’s played," coach Jeff Blashill said.
That's another part to the puzzle.
