Larkin scored the overtime winner on the power play to complement an assist in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.

This is an example of a captain showing up for the biggest moment of his entire season. A regulation loss would have been devastating to Detroit's playoff hopes, but Larkin's clutch contributions helped the team avoid a total meltdown after permitting three unanswered goals in the second period. Larkin seems to hover around a point-per-game pace year in and year out, with this season being no exception. The fleet-footed pivot has a career-high 33 goals to go along with 34 assists through 66 appearances. There are two games to go for the Wings in the regular season.
