Alex DeBrincat #93 of the Detroit Red Wings celebrates scoring a goal in overtime against the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena on February 2, 2025 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

DeBrincat and Larkin have emerged as crucial players for the Red Wings as the team seeks to end an eight-year playoff drought. Both players had a goal and an assist in the Red Wings' narrow 4-3 overtime loss to the Minnesota Wild on Saturday, Feb. 22. 

Larkin is second on the team for goal-scoring behind Lucas Raymond, who notched 52 points in 56 games for the Red Wings. DeBrincat leads Detroit with 25 goals. His 48 points place him third on the Red Wings for overall scoring, MLive.com reported.

Matt’s been in the media game his whole life. He kicked things off at WOVI, his high school station in Novi, MI, then hit the airwaves at Impact 89FM while at Michigan State. But after realizing he didn’t quite have the voice for radio, he made the jump to TV—spending 23 years working for CBS, FOX, and NEWSnet. Now, he’s come full circle, back in radio as Detroit’s Digital Program Director, making noise behind the scenes and keeping things running strong online.
