In summary, Larkin is seemingly playing a similar game but is benefiting from DeBrincat being on his wing. DeBrincat is benefiting from being tasked w/finding space and scoring goals, which is similar to what he was doing w/Kane in Chicago.

DeBrincat is seemingly the more interesting one early this season. His skating distance is down but bursts are way up. Is he energized by being w/a new team or is he playing a more efficient game? Considering Larkin's skillset, I'd lean the later.

Let's start w/ Larkin, who is playing with arguably the best winger of his career (or at least since the team's last playoff appearence) in Alex DeBrincat. There doesn't seem to be much change in his play from last season except more speed bursts per game. 2/6

Right now this type of analysis seems to be one of the best insights to be gleaned from the NHL Edge stats. TLDR: Alex Tuch might be dealing with an injury because skating power/speed is down.
