The St. Louis Blues made a massive announcement regarding their best player so far this season, ahead of their matchup against the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday.
The Detroit Red Wings will face the St. Louis Blues tonight for the first game of a five-game road trip that'll take the team to Los Angeles, Anaheim, San Jose, and Las Vegas.
Starting such a big trip with a win is crucial for momentum and to keep confidence high during that week away from home.
Dylan Larkin knows just how important that trip is. Here's what he said in a recent media availability about the importance of winning tonight's game against the St. Louis Blues:
"This is a big road trip. It's great. It's an exciting road trip I hope there's some energy from [fans on the road] with our start. A lot of them show up like they normally do I hope there's excitement from our young guys and our group to go out and play on the road on this trip.
I think the start of a trip is huge. So, [on Tuesday] in St. Louis, especially how the game went on Saturday against them, they're going to be coming for us. It's going to set the tone for the trip. I hope we can be ready to respond and be ready to go."
