Dylan Larkin - Carries team to OT winLarkin scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over the Avalanche.
ImpactThe Red Wings got blanked through the first two periods, but Larkin woke his team up by scoring his 25th goal of the season midway through the third. The 27-year-old then drew two defenders to him in OT before dropping a no-look backhand pass to Patrick Kane for the winner. Larkin has found the scoresheet in three straight games, and in 19 contests since the beginning of January he's racked up 12 goals and 20 points.

Alex Lyon - Sharp in OT winLyon made 30 saves in Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over the Avalanche.
ImpactNathan MacKinnon slipped a puck past Lyon early in the second period, but the veteran netminder otherwise had an answer for everything Colorado fired at him. His numbers have begun to erode, but the Wings have been giving him enough support to keep him in the win column on a regular basis -- over his last eight starts, Lyon has gone 5-2-1 despite a lackluster 2.91 GAA and .903 save percentage.
